Taxiing in after a flight in the thin winter sunlight, one of the few "Connies" that still had the upper radome, although the height finder radar was long gone from inside it.

Landing on the then runway 30 after a long patrol. At this time the upper radome, which originally housed the height finding antenna, was empty on all the EC-121Ts.
After the last EC-121T takeoff from Keflavik, three F-4Es of the 57th FIS escorted it during a last pass over the base. Two of them were on the wings like shown, but the third was supposed to be taking photos of the event.
May 1, 1978 was a rather fruitful day. This topless EC-121T shown coming in for a landing on runway 02. It was also the last Warning Star to leave Keflavik on October 4, 1978, after the E-3As had taken over the airborne radar function.
