The B-66 was developed from the US Navy A3D Skywarrior as a tactical light bomber and photo reconnaissance aircraft. The RB-66B photo reconnaissance version became the first production series and totaled 145 of the 294 B-66s built. The USAF also developed a weather reconnaissance and various ECM modifications. The aircraft on display flew combat missions in Southeast Asia with the 363rd TRW and was delivered to the museum in 1970.
