Found this plane just sitting in an open field near Dyess AFB. Looks like it should be part of the static plane display.

On the Google Earth Forums it is identified as a RB-66B that was on static display at th front gate but relaced by the B-1 bomber "Star of Abiline."

"The RB-66B on display was modified for service in Vietnam having cameras mounted along the bottom of the fuselage and a chaff dispenser replaced the tail gun turret.

This aircraft last served at Bergstrom AFB and is one of only seven still in existence."

Why is the EB-66 just sitting in a field? Is it waiting for a permanent pad to display it? My Dad was a Navigator/EWO officer on one during the Vietnam war, he was stationed at Korat Thailand, on 12/23/1972 on return from a mission the plane lost power & crashed, all 3 crewmen were killed.
