Luke AFB Unveils Newest Heritage Jet

Members of the fabrication flight’s corrosion control team stand with their newly painted F-16D Fighting Falcon during an unveiling ceremony at the 310th Air Maintenance Unit hanger June 17, 2022, at Luke Air Force Base Phoenix, Arizona. This F-16 was painted in a heritige design as a means of honoring Lt. Col. Gary “Nordo” North’s actions during a routine Operation Southern Watch mission in Iraq and Air Force heritage. The paint job required 1,500 man-hours and over 13 gallons of paint. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Caleb F. Butler)
