Luke changes F-16 paint scheme to single color

Senior Airman Nicolas Pages, 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman (left), prepares to paint the inlet lip of an F-16C Fighting Falcon while Airman 1st Class Justin Beverly, 56th EMS Low Observable ASM apprentice, assists June 22, 2020, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. Specialized paint is used on the inlet lip of an F-16 to help prevent rain erosion. 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.
