She was damaged during one NULLO flight over the WSMR on Nov 19th, 2014, when a AIM-9X hit her, but bounced off, ripping of the right hand horizontal stabilizer. The controller managed to land her safely on the alternate NASA Space Shuttle runway. She was towed back to Holloman AFB, where she was used as a spare.
