A question for the group assembled:
What is Raytheon doing with these birds (7 of them), including two
that are listed as EA3Bs? Are they used for the radar and missile
development?

My understanding is that Raytheon finished with these birds, and this one
now belongs to the National Naval Aviation Museum, and is on loan to NAS
Whidbey
as a static display. I believe a volunteer group is going to restore it to
near original appearance condition. (It flew in here, Ault Field, in just a
few days ago)

Thanks-
From what Wikipedia and some others said, 875RS was the last one
flying and it went to Pensacola for display, so I was surprised to see
that one there and thought it was still being used by Raytheon..
