Built as F3D-2 (F-10A) Bureau Number 124598. Converted to a EF-10B version in 1962. After retirement from USMC the aircraft was loaned to Raytheon Corporation for research (with US Army markings.) In 1987 it was finally retired to the National Naval Aviation Museum. In 2016 the a/c went through restoration and was repainted. VMF(N)-513 had this scheme on one of their F3Ds in Korea. Their number "13" F3D had been lost in action so the replacement was given the 12 7/8 in hopes of better luck.
