61-7963

Just like her sister ship 961, 963 was unlucky enough to be cannibalized for parts for other airframes, and so ended her flying career early.  She last flew on October 28, 1976, with a total of 1604.4 hours of flight time.

Steven Myatt worked with the blackbirds from 1975-77, and was lucky enough to take the following pictures of 963 at Kadena.
