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, applies a stencil on an F-16 Fighting Falcon tail fin as part of the making of a heritage tail flash at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Jan. 20, 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)
