F-35 Aggressor Paint Nellis AFB 65th Aggressor Squadron - Airailimages

In footage just released by the Department of Defense, an F-35A Lightning II exits the paint hangar after receiving an aggressor paint scheme before reactivation of the 65th Aggressor Squadron in June 2022 at Nellis Air Force Base, near Las Vegas, Nevada. The aggressor program began in the 1970s, allowing pilots to train against a U.S. aggressor force that replicated advanced and credible adversary tactics. Since then, adversary capabilities have improved significantly, so these threats must be replicated with ever-more-capable aggressor aircraft. (U.S. Air Force video by Tech. Sgt. Alexandre Montes)

Every time I see a F-35, I wonder what the F-15, F-16, FA-18 would be like if they were forced to make the airframe SVTOL.

So stealth coating can be different colors easily?

It will need 30 hours maintainence after being towed out of it's hanger.
