Delivered as an RB-57D in 1956. Converted to an EB-57D in 1967. Stored at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ in 1970 then to the museum in 1981. Returned to the USAF at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ in 2002.

Giving some impression of the tightly packed conditions and photographic challenge, this B-57 initially served the 4025th SRS (Light)/4080th SRW "Black Knights" at Turner AFB, GA and then Laughlin AFB, TX. The RB-57's much longer wings had a lightweight honeycomb internal structure and more powerful engines. By 1968 53-3982 had been converted to EB-57D spec and operated for about 10 years with the 4677th Defense Systems Evaluation Sqdn, Hill AFB, UT before loan to the Pima museum. By 2004 it was transferred to the NMUSAF where it was restored in its original late 1950s RB-57 colours
