	HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY, history by Mike Glenn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Two A-3A aircraft, BuNo's 135411 and 135427 were selected by the Navy to perform the flight testing, and those aircraft were transferred from VAH-123 to Hughes via the depot at Alameda where most of the mission systems were removed, and the aircraft arrived at the Hughes Aircraft facility at Culver City, California in late 1963.
		Hughes was given the option of various testbeds to continue development, and TA-3B 144867 was chosen as the most desirable airframe, with many of the changes incorporated into 135411 were transferable to the TA-3B airframe, including the engineering for the nose modifications.
		The aircraft was civil certified as the Navy no longer had the means to certify operations and modifications with the anticipated closing of the Depot at Alameda, and NTA-3B 144867 became N14867 and made the first civil certified flight of an A-3 in December, 1990 after being modified for the Army NLOS missile program.
