Hi,

Kadena notes for 24 January,

86-0268 AK F-16C 18 AGRS,3 Wing
86-0304 AK F-16C 18 AGRS,3 Wing
87-0375 AK F-16D 18 AGRS,3 Wing

Any details known of their color schemes and if they were carrying aggressor style codes on the air intakes? 268 and 375 should be wearing the three-tone black/grey/white arctic color scheme, but 86-0304 is new for me with the unit and confirmation of the color scheme worn would be great!

MTIA,
Joris

I didn't see them personally(unfortunatly),but will make enquiries,but there are a total of 5 F-16 from this unit at Kadena at this time.

Hopefully updates to follow.

I found the answer to my own question myself. It is also in the same color scheme and carries '04' in red on the air intake. I am (still) curious about the other two aggressors tough.
