The Norwegian Air Force is celebrating 100 years of military aviation in Norway this year. I'll be flying one of the Tiger Moths to an airshow in southern Norway tomorrow. The Norwegian AF test pilot, Eskil Amdal, which I'm happy to be able to call my friend, is displaying a specially-painted F-16 at all the air shows here this year. It's painted in the colours of the Norwegian flag, and it is AWESOME! This pic was taken during a test flight yesterday by another friend of mine.

More pics in this thread on a Norwegian forum.

That's a cool shot. The paint job looks kind of like the original YF-16 paint (without the USAF markings, of course):

Seeing that photo, I was positive that I had seen that paintjob before.
