Slide was taken when Chanute AFB was still active. The a/c was being used as a ground instructional airframe, and became part of the Chanute Air Museum collection after the base closed. The museum made some changes to the original markings. The museum closed in 2015 and the JRB-66 was one of several airframes that did not find a new home and was scrapped.
