    A specially painted F-16 Fighting Falcon belonging to the 149th Fighter Wing ('Lone Star Gunfighters') of the Texas Air National Guard is undergoing an automated aircraft wash inside a hangar. The aircraft features a distinctive Texas-themed livery with the Texas state flag colors (red, white, blue) and lone star motifs on the fuselage and tail. A yellow robotic/automated wash arm is spraying water on the aircraft, which sits on a wash rack platform.

    A robotic arm designed to autonomously wash an F-16 Fighting Falcon is demonstrated at the 149th Fighter Wing on Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, 28 April, 2021. The robot is a one-of-a-kind machine built, programmed and tested at the 149th as a proof of concept for the Air Force. (U.S. Air National Guard Photo by Senior Airman Ryan Mancuso)

    A large yellow industrial robotic arm, branded 'Wilder', is spraying liquid (likely water or cleaning solution) onto what appears to be a dark-colored aircraft wing or large aerospace structure. The robot is equipped with a spray nozzle at its end effector, and water droplets are visibly dispersing across the surface. This appears to be an automated washing or surface treatment operation in an industrial or aerospace maintenance facility.
    A military jet aircraft, marked '149FW' and 'AF 80149', is inside a hangar being serviced by a yellow industrial robotic arm that appears to be washing or spraying the aircraft. The fuel tank or drop tank beneath the aircraft is painted in Texas flag colors (navy blue, white star, red and white stripes). The scene depicts an automated aircraft maintenance or washing operation at what appears to be a Texas Air National Guard facility.

    A military jet fighter, likely an F-16 Fighting Falcon, is positioned inside a hangar undergoing maintenance or inspection procedures. The aircraft features a distinctive Texas state flag livery on its nose section and is surrounded by yellow robotic or mechanical support arms. The cockpit canopy area is covered with protective plastic wrap, and the wet floor suggests recent washing or fluid activity.
