Air Force Air Force Paints Its Own ‘Air’ Colors For Air Force Times
Air Force pilots are now required to put on their own airbrush, a unique paint system that includes airbrushing colors from a variety of aircraft.
Airlines, however, have long been reluctant to use airbrushes from the Air Force.
According to Air Force spokesperson Maj. Todd Bowers, “the Air Force is not authorized to provide airbrush colors for official aircraft paint, so this system was developed in partnership with paint manufacturers.”
The Air Force uses a variety, from white to yellow, to distinguish its aircrafts.
The Air Force paints its own airbrushed colors.
It’s a new system, but it’s one that has been a long time coming.
When the Air Service began in 1950, the colors it used for its own paints were yellow and green.
In the late 1950s, the Air Forces Air Service Manual began requiring the use of airbrush colors to distinguish aircrew uniforms.
Air Force Paint Systems are now the norm in the U.S. Air Force’s paint inventory.
Today, airbrunters can get their own, custom-designed airbrush.
One of the most unique features of Air Force paint is that the paint is airbrished.
Unlike other paint suppliers, Air Force has to pay for the paint itself.
While this has caused some problems with paint and the paint system, Air Base Paint and Paint Systems have worked with the Air Services paint supply company to resolve the issue.
“The Air Service has been able to secure funding for the painting of the paint from the UAPS,” Air Force spokeswoman Maj. Bowers said.
They’re the ones that get the paint in.
