Grin Grin Grin  You all know your aircraft  lol   Based out of Albuquerque (58th Weather Recon) did atmospheric testing for nuclear debris (according to the write-up).  NASA used them as well

There will be an exam later  lol

Nasa flew one of those to Hawaii and kept it in my squadrons hangar in 1994, I was in the Navy at the time maintaining SH-60B helos for HSL-37.

That is a very radical modification of the Canberra.
