On this page you can find several drawings of special schemes applied on F-16s because of the jubilee of the squadrons.
This overview is far from complete.
In case you have information like (copies of) drawings used to spray the aircraft, detail photos, etcetera, please contact me, so I might be able to complete or correct this overview.
