Previously with the 498th Fighter Interceptor Squadron when it was headquartered in Washington state, 56-457 moved to the 318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at McChord AFB, WA in July 1963. Serving until August 1983, the aircraft was next with the 87th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, KI Sawyer AFB, MI until retired to AMARC in 1985. Converted to a QF-106 drone in the last half of 1990, it was destroyed by an AIM-7M November 13, 1991.
