IAF Israeli Air Force Camouflage
After the Six-Day War, the Israeli Air Force introduced a new camouflage scheme consisting of an upper surface pattern of FS 30219 Dark Tan, FS 33531 Sand and FS 34227 Green, with the undersides in FS 35622 Light Blue. This desert pattern remained standard for most IAF tactical aircraft and helicopters until the early 1980s, although many tactical aircraft introduced in the 1970s, such as the F-4E, carried this pattern until the end of their service. An exception was the A-4H/N, where the manufacturer used a different green tone for the variant pattern,i.e. FS;;;
34258 Green. The air superiority grey scheme consisted of FS 36320 Dark Ghost Grey and FS 36375 Light Ghost Grey and was introduced with the introduction of the F-15 in late 1976, for all aircraft assigned to high-altitude missions, including the Kfir C2, E-2C and RF-4E. With the delivery of the F-16 in 1980, the standard desert pattern for combat aircraft was modified, replacing FS 34227 Green with WW2 RAF Sky (FS 34424) and FS 35622 Light Blue with FS 36375 Light Ghost Grey, respectively.
