They looked unusual, but I am glad the F-16 stayed in grey paint...

The 'Euro-1" scheme was applied to a few 422TES jets for the "A-16" CAS demonstration to replace the A-10s.Β  It did not pan out.

Funny this is that us photographers did not care much for the dark 'Euro-1' scheme because it did not show up well on film unless it was a real sunny day...

I was able to photograph four of these test aircraft. They were unusual to see!
