U.S. Air Force F-16 receives new single color paint scheme
09:09 (GMT+0000) December 20, 2019
 

A famous and well used “hot rod” of the U.S. Air Forces of the NATO countries has received a new, darker single color paint scheme.

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

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations.

And why are we changing the color?
Reduce visibility?
Better paint?
Some general was tired of the original colors?

They're trying to make it "look stealthy":
