It was originally developed by General<br />
Dynamics for the United States Air<br />
Force. Designed as a lightweight<br />
fighter optimised for daytime dog<br />
fighting and ground attack, it evolved<br />
into a successful multi-role aircraft<br />
over the years.<br />
They have taken part in coalition<br />
air operations over the Balkans,<br />
Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, as well<br />
as the Baltic Air Policing initiative.<br />
The colour scheme you can see in<br />
the <strong>2017</strong> display today has been<br />
designed to show distinctive,<br />
contrasting colours in flight<br />
on the upper and lower side<br />
of the aircraft. The scheme<br />
was designed in different<br />
layers on which both the<br />
vortices and smoke are<br />
meant to superimpose and<br />
compliment the design.<br />
