This NP-3D was withdrawn from use in March 2006. In that month it was flown over to nearby Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (CA) and assigned to the stored fleet of the Weapons Survivability Laboratory. Not a very good sign, as it will be used then as a range target and being destroyed by jet fighter attacks, or it is being destroyed by experimental explosives.
