wolf8564 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Can anyoe explain to me why it looks like half of the slime light is covered by Black? Its like the bottom half has been blacked out. What is the purpose of this? Edited September 16, 2018 by wolf8564 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoops Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Also seen in new build F-15s (I/K/SG/SA) and F-16E/Fs. Probably lots of of others too. Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillS Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I’ll take a stab. I think it has to do with night vis. Around the early 2000s we went with exterior lighting that is only visible when viwed through night vision goggles. I was in F-16s at the time and although USAF jets did’nt have strip lights, our stuff go modified for night vision. Just guessing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
