In storage at Mojave. Built in 1958 as a YA3D-2P, the prototype reconnaissance Skywarrior, redesignated RA-3B in 1962. Its US Navy career included work with the Pacific Missile Test Centre at Point Mugu, California with further modification and another change of designation to NRA-3B. In 1969 it gained an experimental sonobuoys installation on the fuselage side. At the conclusion of military service, registered N256HA with Raytheon Flight Systems for further test work. Scrapped in 2002. This photo is copyright © David A. Montgomery, and may not be used or published in any way without permission. It was added on 8 October 2023, and has since been viewed 366 times. |
