Photo Comment

On the museum wash rack for annual maintenance. Built as A3D-2T (TA-3B) BuNo. 144865 in April 1960. Eventually converted to EA-3B. Still in service with VQ-2 in 1991. Transferred to Raytheon Corp. in 1994 and used for research and development. Flown from Van Nuys, California to museum in June 2011. That was the last flight of an A-3 Skywarrior.
