A Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon in the latest HAVE GLASS V coating.
Note how the nose of the aircraft, which is the radome that contains the radar, is left unpainted and is in the original grey it comes in. In a standard F-16 that doesn't have the HAVE GLASS V coating applied, the colour of the nose actually matches the scheme of the rest of the fuselage.
So, why did they make the aircraft more conspicuous unless the coating offers some advantage that outweighed it's drawbacks?


Ouch! Expensive off there.
