Going by the book... NJ is (was) the tailcode for Air Wing 12. The modex (nose number) of 1xx indicates assignment to the first squadron of the wing. In this case we can probably say that this jet is assigned to VF-121, the Pacemakers, based at NAS Miramar. Primary mission equipment was probably the F3H or F4H; the TV-2s being used for instrument training, squadron hacks etc.

EDIT: I think I can see "21A" on the fuselage under the trailing edge of the tip tank. This would be consistent with "VF-121A" or VF-121 Det. A. The detachment would explain their being based at North Island.
