viper730 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just ran across an article about an F-16 Aggressor that is to be painted all black like an SR-71 or China's J-31, J-20. This will be A great addition to the otherwise repetitive Gray schemes that most of my planes tend to be. Hint Hint to the Aftermarket decal gods!.. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29177/new-black-and-red-aggressor-paint-job-slated-for-nellis-based-f-16-adversary-jet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 There are some really cool aggressor schemes these days. Not a huge fan of the all black look but some of the others rock. Believe the commander of the unit (maybe of the base?) let people submit suggestions for one of the recent schemes and he picked the one he liked best. Thought that was a nice touch.

Whiskey Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I like the black/red combo. Looks more like an 80's (i.e. Topgun) throwback and suits the F-16 well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Maybe they will be used as Mig-28s in Top Gun II (because no one’s been this close before) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was the commander of the 57th Fighter Wing - "Blend'r" - who opened up the submissions to the public. He didn't choose the winner though, we voted for it on Facebook. There were a few pretty awful schemes that luckily didn't make it too far. I'm looking forward to doing a walk-around of the Digital Ghost scheme in a few weeks.

Of course, I just finished 86-295, but the Nellis one looks even better, so now I have to that one too as soon as someone does the markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I hope Two Bobs makes new version of those decals including full range of black aggressors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Only if they get all the colors right this time around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know Bullseye has talked about doing another F-16 Aggressor sheet. I think they are just waiting for a few more new schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
