Luke changes F-16 paint scheme to single color

Tech. Sgt. Chase Douget, 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance craftsman (left), and Master Sgt. Michael Cleary, 56th EMS LO ASM senior noncommissioned officer in charge, inspect the topcoat of an F-16C Fighting Falcon, assigned to the 310th Fighter Squadron, June 22, 2020, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. For the first time at Luke, AMS Airmen painted an F-16 one solid medium-gray color versus the traditional dark gray on top and light on bottom in an action that will save the Air Force time and money. The process is sped up when an aircraft is painted one solid color because there is less time spent waiting for the colors to dry, which allows more time to complete other tasks.
