Yes, I have a 1968 or 69 annual report from CO introducing the "Contrails" livery/logo. However, meatball is what it is referred to from 99.9% of the collectorate/spotter crowd....so it's gonna stay meatball in my book, for convienience sake. Now, dont you just love the red and black meat-ball scheme? The one with the eagle is pretty cool too!
