Since the establishment of the 35th Squadron in 1961, the US had supplied the ROC Air Force (ROCAF) with U-3As to serve as the liaison and transport aircraft, as well as the trainer of takeoff and landing for U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. At the end of the joint U-2 operation between the ROC and the US, it was transferred to the ROCAF, affiliated to the VIP Squadron, and assigned the serial number 3601. Decommissioned in 1981, it was donated to Feng Chia University for instructional purpose. The U-3A was returned to the ROCAF on April 26, 1997 and placed on exhibition in the ROC Air Force Museum.
