Delivered to the US Navy in 1965, and following operational assignments within the US Navy and US Marine Corps, this hot rod became an adversary aircraft with Fighting 43 "Challengers"in 1978. On 13 March 1992 it was flown over to AMARC and got inventory code 3A646. It departed the storage depot on 17 July 2001. The aircraft was saved for legacy and is now preserved in the National Aviation Museum, Tulsa (OK).
