Was this plane an H2X equipped Pathfinder? It was a Vega-built like most of them, but it’s records don’t show the usual route via Langley. On the Ron Mackay’s first 381st BG book, the s/s one, it’s seen on page 58 top left corner with what looks like a radar dome, but the pic isn’t good enough to be 100% sure.
