ANG F-16 gets new dark gray paint

A U.S. Air Force F-16 Falcon from the 149th Fighter Wing, Texas Air National Guard with a new, darker single color paint scheme. The new paint eliminates the older two-tone gray as the standard paint scheme for F-16’s in the U.S. Air Force.

This week the Air National Guard Paint Facility in Sioux City, Iowa rolled out a uniquely painted U.S. Air Force F-16 Falcon, recently completed for the Texas Air National Guard’s 149th Fighter Wing.

The new, single color paint scheme is a recent departure from the older two-tone gray paint scheme normally associated with F-16’s that belong to the United States Air Force.

The Air National Guard paint facility recently finished painting the F-16 for the San Antonio Based, Texas Air National Guard unit and the aircraft is now ready to return to its home at Joint Base San Antonio.
