N70CF is to the left, and N21AP to the right. This was the second year that the Acrojets performed. Corky Fornof flew N70CF, and Bob Bishop flew N21AP. Both a/c were based on the BD-5J, but had many modifications to the original design. Both were registered with the FAA with Aerojet Special as the version. N21AP had msn 02. Corky Fornof flew N70CF in the opening scenes of the James Bond movie "Octopussy", including flying through a hangar.
