Some F-16s around the globe recently sported new paint schemes. Technicians at Kunsan AB, South Korea, repainted several of their wing's F-16s with an arctic camouflage scheme in preparation for an aircraft swap with Eielson AFB, Alaska. Eielson is home of the Red Flag-Alaska Aggressor force. And at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, technicians with the 147th Fighter Wing repainted an F-16 to honor its history: the rudder represents the Jenny; the yellow tail and wings, the 1920s and 1930s; the flaperon, the 1930s; the star and bars insignia, the P-51; the large Ace in the Hole emblem, the F-84E and F-86D; and the gray underside, the wing’s Air Defense Command aircraft, the F-102, F-101, and F-4.
