That's so Metal; Corrosion Wraps Fourth and Final Flash

Tech. Sgt. David Lamb, 8th Maintenance Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of aircraft structural maintenance, cuts out a stencil to be applied to an F-16 Fighting Falcon for the painting of the 8th Fighter Wing’s fourth and final heritage tail flash at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Jan. 23, 2022. Stencils are made days in advance, once the final design had been decided, in order to speed up the painting process. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Gabrielle Spalding)
