![]() "cdr" wrote in message .. . "Tex Houston" wrote in message .. . "TMOliver" wrote in message ... As for the RB-66's use in combat photo recon, the bird performed didn't last long in that role (just as it had not done well as a bomber), replaced quickly by far more survivable RF4s. The RB-66 was unsuited for low level battlefield recon, too slow (and to the air crew who flew them sharing with the A3 and EA3s the dicey escape method, down, instead of the more conventional upward ejection). The RB-57s were developed to do what the RB-66 did, while the Navy's last version of a similar a/c, the EA3, flew on for many years, longer than the attempt to salvage the Navy's A-5 program with the RA5C. TMO Which model A3 had ejection seats? Only USAF's B-66s Thought so. Tex |
