A-3 MOVEMENTS (2/15/04)
 You may have heard that EA-3B, BuNo 146448, has been moved from AMARC (desert boneyard) to Maryland. It is being painted and readied for display in Vigilance Park at Fort Meade, Maryland. A dedication ceremony is planned this spring in memory of VQ-2’s “Ranger 12” crew that was lost off the USS Nimitz, Jan. 25, 1987.

 Secondly, four A-3s, BuNos 142249, 142651, 142647, 142404, were moved from AMARC to the Barry M. Goldwater Range at Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field, Arizona. Although this is a target range, we hope the Skywarriors will not become fodder for live fire. Speculation is that they will be placed on a mock airfield for electronic target acquisition or other nondestructive tactical exercises.
 
A-3 Skywarrior, BuNo 138965, is reportedly headed to the Yanks Air Museum at Chino, California. The exact status of this move is not yet confirmed.
 
The USS Midway Museum has an A-3 on its list of acquisitions, but the reality of this transaction is up in the air yet.
 
Lastly, the Sanford, Florida, group is hoping to acquire an A-3 for their growing static display.
 These and other projects are examples of what our museum committee needs to be on top of for informational reasons and to also help facilitate action if possible.
