The 310th Fighter Squadron’s newly painted F-16 Fighting Falcon is towed to the flight line Jan. 19, 2022, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. Structural maintainers applied a paint scheme to match that of the World War II era 310th Fighter Squadron’s “Passionate Patsy” Republic P-47 Thunderbolt in celebration of the Air Education and Training Command’s 80th anniversary.

I get it, I just don't think that aesthetically those paint jobs fit the pointy shape of the aircraft.
