jbob Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Anyone got any history of 65-0979? Somebody asking about it on Facebook. Apparently it's with NASA now. I flew it from Robins post PDM back to Edwards back in late 90's or early 2000s. I think it was a drone bird at one time. Bomb back on the bottom was a later mod it appears. I wanna say Edwards was the last AF unit to own it. I think it was loaned to the Navy for something. It appears it went to Boneyard around 2009. From there NASA bought it. Did it have a Rotodome installed at one time? I edited the post. Guess is a 1965 model rather than a 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Here's a start: [cn]4131[/cn] Images of the aircraft can be viewed by clicking the camera below the picture and there are links to forum threads that mention 979 at the bottom of the page.

jbob Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks Casey. Not sure why I don't remember it being part of the 40 FTS. Brain dump I guess. Guess there more history now since NASA got it out of the boneyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
