Check out the latest Aggressor paint scheme out of Nellis AFB – it doesn’t disappoint!
Aggressor Squadrons are known for their colorful camouflage paint schemes, which are designed to mimic the camo types often used by enemy fighter jets. Aggressors serve as the enemy aircraft in training exercises, so US and allied pilots get familiar with recognizing and fighting against aircraft with these unusual appearances.
The 64th Aggressor Squadron out of Nellis AFB, NV, recently released its much-hyped GHOST paint scheme, mimicking the Russian Air Force’s Sukhoi Su-57. Check out a timelapse video of the paint job below!
