Does aircraft require national colors to be displayed?
Military aircaft display national markings in order to be identified by other aircraft as enemy or friendly. Modern US Air Force jets use markings that lack color and are shades of the camoflage. Civilian aircraft are only required to carry a Registration identification number. This registration ID includes Letters and Numbers and each country has a unique prefix Letter(s). For example, all aircraft registered within USA begin with "N" and this registration is commonly referred to as the "N-number". However, I do not think a civilian aircraft is required to display the national flag.

The markings on the side of a B-52 are the national markings, the bomb wing letters, the fiscal year number and the building sequence number. (Sometimes a command designation appears on the tail also.) Most B-52 H that are still in service have a number like 60-0008. - This means that it was built in 1960 and was #0008 in building sequence for the USAF that year. They will also carry a large LA meaning they belong to 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, OR a large MT meaning they belong to 5th Bomb wing at Minot AFB. - As far as I know they currently operate 57 and 36 B-52 aircraft respectively .- -As in all things military there are lots of changes and nothing is ever "written in stone" so take this explanation as 'normal for now' rather than hard and fast fact.
