Here's the video: [URL][Link pending approval][/URL]


RNlAF F-16BM #J-882 is ready to go after receiving a new coat of paint. The F-16 was in and out of the ANG Paint Facility in just a few weeks. This is the first international aircraft that was painted at the Sioux City, Iowa based facility.

Soooooo...are they deleting the Arizona flag banner at the top of the fin? That was always an eye-catcher.

No we are not. It's already painted on again. But that has been done in Tucson.

The picture above shows the J-368 in its original paint scheme. This paint was applied a couple of years ago in the Netherlands. The people in Sioux City paint it a little different : the location of the black panel below the Rescue arrow and the darker paint around the gunport.

It's like when a beauty changes her make-up. It doesn't matter the result is always great
