What a treat. While on vacation in Ft. Walton Beach Fl. we ran into this beauty at Eglin AFB museum. This particular aircraft s/n 617959 had a 9' extension on the tail for equipment. It was a one off known as "Big Tail". It didn't decrease performance by much but it also didn't prove to be to be that great of an advantage so it was scrubbed. Also added an extra pic in, see if you can guess type.
