Built by Lockheed as a P-3B, served VP-40 and Vp31 and was selected for modification to a RP-3D. It then served VXN-8. Was used in project Birdseye, served the Naval Research Laboratory from early 1994 as 'Arctic Fox' and assigned to VXS-1. Moved to AMARC on 29 January 2013. Was stored in the Arizona desert up to 20 August 2020 and was then sadly scrapped with HVF West, Tucson (AZ).
