Hajo L. Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I just checked my Squadron Signal "Phantom in Action". It contains a painted profile of "Terrible Tyke", F-4D, #66-279, of 497th TFSQ "Night Owls" with black undersides. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

During WWII, gloss black was found to be less visible under spot lights than flat black. The gloss paint scatters the light. Flat black doesn't and makes the aircraft more visible under a spot light.
