Hello. Just wondering if there is any white inside the F-15 intakes (example: the F-14 intakes are white). Thanks!
Albert,
All military high speed aircraft built after 1963 and most late 1950’s US Navy aircraft have their intake painted gloss white, this is for FOD prevention, the white will show anything in the intake trunk or in front of the engines, before the intakes where bare metal or painted silver for the same purpose, but the US Navy started to paint the intake & landing gear & wells when they went to the Gull Gray upper and Gloss White lower scheme and the USAF adapted it around 1963 when the F-4 was purchased and carried the scheme since
