Photo Comment

A89-305 was originally all over gloss sea blue but in a effort to reduce temperatures in the fuselage the top was painted white in 1962. About 1965/66 it was painted in the US Navy's white and light gull grey livery. When A89-305 became due for a major overhaul in 1967 it was scrapped.
