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.

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.
