Photo Comment

First flight on 09 Apr 1954 and delivered to 411 Squadron RCAF with serial 23215. Stored at Mountain View on 04 Mar 1964. To Crown Assets Disposal Corp 09 Sep 1970. To Flight Systems at Mojave, CA as N2291B in Jul 1978. I assume operating under a contract for the US Army and retaining its RCAF serial on the tail. Shot down by a Patriot missile over White Sands, NM on 27 Apr 1979.
