Luke changes F-16 paint scheme to single color

Senior Airman Nicolas Pages, 56th Equipment Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman, sprays specialized paint to prevent rain erosion on the inlet lip of an F-16C Fighting Falcon assigned to the 310th Fighter Squadron June 22, 2020, at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. F-16s receive a full body paint every six to seven years and the last one performed at Luke was April 2019. 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.
