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

Staff Sgt. Alex Dixon, 8th Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance journeyman, applies a stencil to an F-16 Fighting Falcon as he completes final touches to the 8th Operations Group 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)
