An F16 from the 149th Fighter Wing at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland is painted with a Vietnam-era nonstandard camouflage pattern, June 10, 2021. The new heritage jet's paint scheme was chosen to honor the Wing's 25th anniversary of being redesignated from the 149th Fighter Group to the 149th Fighter Wing.

It's been awhile since I was thete, but I know Lackland doesn't have an airfield.The two based were next to each other.

The AF also did an A-10 in the old SEA scheme, it looked great.

I think the correct answer is "yes."

I think it looks great. I was privileged to see both of the specially marked A-10 Heritage Flight birds at DM earlier this year and the SEA camo looks fantastic on that bird as well, particularly so in formation with an SEA marked Skyraider!
