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.

Which model A3 had ejection seats?


Only USAF's B-66s


Thought so.
