The Centennial of Naval Aviation Heritage Paint Project aims to create living history and public awareness of the Navy's heritage by painting active duty aircraft in historic paint schemes from different eras. Originally targeting 18 aircraft, the project grew to include 28 aircraft from both fleet and training command units. The aircraft represent various types and eras from 1914 to 1950, and underwent painting at various maintenance facilities as part of scheduled overhauls while minimizing additional costs. The project helps appreciate Naval Aviation history while the aircraft continue operational missions.
