It looks like a WW2 Avenger..Or some kind of those colorfull WW1 airplanes. Very nice idea from this squadron.

Very Sharp. 8-)
It would be nice if all F-16s were painted like that, although, their combat record might not be quite as stellar...

Nice, sporting the old Stearman scheme.

I love the smell of day-glow in the morning.

Almost as bad as the SAC Hi-vis paint scheme for the C-5A?

To be honest, with the ranges of today's anti-air weapons and sophistication of radar, does the paint scheme really matter all that much in 90% of engagements with non-stealth aircraft? How often do aircraft get within visual range now that we have missiles capable of shooting more than 40 miles.
