The T-3A Firefly was part of the USAF's Air Education and Training Command to screen pilot candidates by exposing them to military style traffic patterns, aerobatics and spins. This 94-0019 was scrapped by Total Metal Recycling Inc, Granite City (IL) by September 2006. It is seen here at the static of Edwards, on loan from the 3rd Flying Training Squadron at Randolph (TX) to the 412th Test Wing. It carried 'experimental'-titles for the aircraft types fuel flow problems research. The USAF eventually disposed the 106-strong Firefly fleet by 2006.
