On display in the SEA Gallery at NMUSAF. This aircraft participated in the Vietnam War and was delivered to the museum in 1970. It wears the Shaw AFB tailcode 'JN.' The RB-66B was reconfigured to provide ESM and ECM support from 1965 to strike aircraft operating over northern Laos and North Vietnam. Variants included the EB-66B, EB-66C and EB-66E that served with 41st TRS (later 41st TEWS) and 42nd TEWS (Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron) from Takhli and Korat. The K-5 radar bombing system equipped EB-66B "Brown Cradle" was also used for pathfinder medium level blind bombing missions.
