146446 was with USN Squadron VAP-61 at the time of the photo. The apparent white markings on the rear fuselage are mounts for the rocket-assisted take-off boosters being picking out by the sun against the shaded fuselage side. There are six in all, the bottom one in full shadow. 146446 later flew with Thunderbird Aviation and Hughes as N161TB under contract to the Navy. In 2000 it was placed in storage at Davis-Monthan.
