Feast your eyes on this F-16’s new ‘Ghost’ paint scheme
SUMMARY
An F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet made its initial flight after receiving the first US Air Force "Ghost" paint scheme, May 23, 2019.
The design was chosen by a poll held by Brig. Gen. Robert Novotny, 57th Wing commander, on his social media account to add a new look to the 64th Aggressor Squadron (AGRS).
"I love this job, and I love what we do at Nellis Air Force Base, so I want to take any opportunity to boast about our fine men and women who do great work for their nation," said Novotny.
"Social Media gives me a chance to connect directly with the folks who have a similar passion for military aviation."
