576th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron paint shop technicians, Jayson Chavez (left) and Ben Gifford remove protective coverings from an F-16 Fighting Falcon they helped paint with a “ghost” paint scheme at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, May 21, 2020. The paint scheme is intended to replicate an adversary’s fighter jet. United States, allied, and partner-nation aircrews routinely train against accurate and realistic threats including aircraft painted to replicate those pilots might see in aerial combat.
