Taken on strength by the USN as an F3D-2 around 1951. Transferred to USMC and possibly saw service in Korea. Redesigned EF-10B in 1962. The Skyknight was the only Korean War jet fighter that also flew in Vietnam. As one of the last three Skyknights flying, operated by Raytheon for tests from 1968 at Holloman AFB, NM with US Army markings and retired to the museum by 1990. Painted in VMF(N)-513 marks as '12 7/8' which had replaced F-3D-2 '13', supposedly for better luck after the loss in Korea of another with that code

Real BuNo is 124598.

Built as F3D-2 Bureau Number 124598. Modified to EF-10B in 1962. After retirement from the USMC the a/c was loaned to Raytheon Corporation with US Army markings as seen here. In 1987 it was retired to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida where it is on display.

Built as F3D-2 (F-10A) Bureau Number 124598. Converted to a EF-10B version in 1962. After retirement from USMC the aircraft was loaned to Raytheon Corporation for research (with US Army markings.) In 1987 it was finally retired to the National Naval Aviation Museum. In 2016 the a/c went through restoration and was repainted. VMF(N)-513 had this scheme on one of their F3Ds in Korea. Their number "13" F3D had been lost in action so the replacement was given the 12 7/8 in hopes of better luck.

Preserved in an external compound at Pensacola before completion of the extended US Navy museum building. The aircraft temporarily wore the fake serial of 121458, an early production F3D-2, but this was later corrected to real BuNo 124598.
