Any word on new paint schemes? Interesting that the arctic is in a different style than the other one. Also, are all the F-15's getting the same scheme/colors?

way back when, I was told 3 eagles in splinter. there are 5 gray ones still looking for paint jobs. whether those five will get it, I don't know. it's doubtful that they will change any of the existing plane camo schemes.
as for the 16s, I was also told 3 of each. but again it is wait and see. as all those are already camo painted, it might take a while.
I'm sure there will be variations in the next ones, same as the existing schemes are all slightly different from plane to plane.

There are words changing the 65th AGRS into a new F-15 FTU at an unknown location. So doubtful if any new schemes will appear.

Good to see "69" flying... the picture is of our team putting her back together after the mid-air with the F-15. Great TDY!!!
