There’s a “triumph of thrust over aerodynamics/America” joke in there somewhere.

I’ve been googling....
I wonder if the C-121 took part in the show back then. There aren’t very many pictures of it, which makes me think that Fat Albert’s performances are a relatively recent addition to the show.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that Connie got the paint stripped off and returned to the fleet, or just got sent to the scrapyard. The AF wasn’t all that nostalgic back then.
