VP-40 was to my knowledge only deplyed once to Keflavik at least while squadron code letters and BuNos were indentifiable. It was during the VP-40 deplyment that overpainting of the code letters and numbers started.

All of the VP-16 P-3s had nose number coinciding with the last digit of their BUNo, like this one. They managed that also with their Update II.5 series that they brought to Keflavik later.

A beautiful July day catches all three of the T-birds assigned to the 57th FIS in 1978-79, lined up on the ramp. The code 3 on the fin was a training aid for the Phantom pilots to tell which T-bird they were intercepting.

In 1981 the three T-33As of the 57th had the red arctic high visibility markings on the nose, fin and wing tip tanks removed by overpainting with the grey basic color. A photo from January 1981 shows that this had started then and went on gradually.

Taxying back to headquarters. By this time all the 57th T-birds were grey allover and only had a short time still left in Iceland. 575 was in Iceland in 1972 at least and was sent back on April 1, 1985 along with the other two, 58-0540 and 58-0575.

One of the many F-104G/RF-104G fighters from the German Navy that visited Keflavik in the late 1970s. It was quite a trip for the stubby wing fighter loaded with underwing fuel tanks. However I never heard of mishaps or losses on this kind of mission.
