National Guard’s 111th Fighter Squadron, part of the 147th Fighter Wing in Houston, has painted one of its F-16s to reflect the squadron’s 90-year history. The rudder has the look of a JN-4 Jenny. The blue fuselage recalls a color scheme from the Korean War, while the grey belly represents the jet age. An N5 A painted on the fuselage is a reminder of the unit’s P-51 days during World War II.
