This livery represents the earlier paint scheme of 101 Squadron. The squadron acquired the F-16C/D in March 1987 under the “Peace Marble II” program and used this livery until approximately 2007.
Today, the squadron operates the F-16C Barak II (Block 40), and previously operated the F-16D Barak I (Block 30).
The squadron operated from Hatzor Air Base, near the city of Ashdod, alongside its sister unit, “The Scorpion Squadron (105) .”
The vertical tail features bold red and white stripes, inspired by older fighters previously operated by the squadron.
