Oddly painted with tail number "56748" instead of the correct 60748, leading to its identity sometimes being mistakenly reported as 55-6748 (which does not exist). This Starfighter was delivered on 29 Jun 1957 and served with the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB until Oct 1967. It retired from all service in Dec 1972.
