Originally built as a B-25J at Kansas City in 1944 and then converted to TB-25N around 1952. It was damaged in a taxi accident at Connally AFB in 1958 and transferred to DM (MASDC?) for storage. It then entered the civil register as N3441G but a planned sprayer conversion fell through and it became derelict after open storage at South Omaha, NE. In 1969, restoration was began but never completed and the sectioned fuselage is now opened up for internal viewing at the SAC & Aerospace Museum.

The XF-85 was intended to give fighter protection to 'parent' B-36s by carrying the 'parasite' within the bomb bay, lowering and releasing it from a trapeze as required. Testing with a modified B-29 began in 1948 but about half of the Goblin flights ended with emergency ground landings after the test pilot could not re-hook to the B-29. The program ended when aerial refueling of conventional fighter aircraft showed greater promise.
