Delivered to the US Navy in November 1955, this Skywarrior participated in nuclear tests in the South Pacific. It ended it's Navy career after an accident JATO testing. Although repaired, it was retired to Litchfied Park (and later AMARC). The US Air Force retrieved the aircraft for use in landing barrier tests at Edwards AFB. After testing it remained there, stored at various locations on the base until Navy volunteers undertook a restoration in 2010. It was presented to the Edwards AFB Flight Test Museum in October 2011, on loan from National Naval Aviation Museum.

This TA-3B was operated by the Department of the Navy and had been outfitted to carry passengers. It was based at NAF Andrews, just outside of Washington, D.C. Due to its proximity to San Francisco, NAS Alameda was a popular layover spot for military aircraft from all the services, including those from other countries.

Originally delivered as A3D-1 (A-3A) in 1956. Converted to EA-3A in 1966 and assigned to the Pacific Missile Test Center. In 1974 the a/c was flown to NAS Pensacola and retired to the museum and put in the outdoor aircraft display area. It is still at the museum, now on display on the flightline. It is currently painted in VAH-1 markings, which this a/c wore during its assignment to that squadron after having been built in 1956.

On the museum wash rack for annual maintenance. Built as A3D-2T (TA-3B) BuNo. 144865 in April 1960. Eventually converted to EA-3B. Still in service with VQ-2 in 1991. Transferred to Raytheon Corp. in 1994 and used for research and development. Flown from Van Nuys, California to museum in June 2011. That was the last flight of an A-3 Skywarrior.
