This Fiscal Year 1980 Blue Angel was seen from late 1991 at the dump of the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility (NWEF) at Albuquerque (NM) where it was used in an investigation programme in which aircraft-weapon interfaces were researched to provide United States Navy aircraft with nuclear weapons delivery capability. After the programme, the Hornet was transferred to NAD North Island in early 1992, then served the NAWC-AD. It was stored at AMARC with inventory code 1A0008 from 3 May 1995. The Hornet was moved to HVF West on 12 September 2018 and scrapped.

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.
