It was converted to an engine testbed for various contractors after a 2 year stay in storage. On it’s maiden flight after it’s new modifications, it was heavily damaged in a landing accident. The aircraft was repaired with components of other GB-90s and continues to serve to this day as an engine testbed, with crewmen referring to it as the ‘Third life’.
