The Blue Angels operated this C-121J from 1968 through the end of the 1970 season when it was replaced by a C-130. At some point after I took this slide the paint scheme was changed with the top of the fuselage being painted white. Looks like the yellow paint is peeling off of the number 8 on the vertical fin and rudder. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
