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

Wow, I never knew that existed. That’s all kinds of awesome.

I’m kind of partial to the Thunderjet, myself.

It’s actually quite pretty. What is it? A Lockheed?

Lockheed Constellation (C-121J).

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.

Looks like it. Man, I wish that Connie was in a museum somewhere.

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.

It would be fun to do an article about the history of the support aircraft. If only I had the time.....

I’d read that.

Yeah, I caught that, but Kinja wouldn’t let me edit it.
