That's an aircraft from the 54th's 58 TCS, 375 TCG. The "X" prefix to the aircraft number had just recently been introduced that month to distinguish 54th TCW planes from those assigned to the provisional 5298th TCW - with no room between the 194 and the cockpit windows, on the left side the "X" had to squeeze in beneath the windows.

Great shot!
