Well, I don't think it was ever under consideration for this modification. It was under civilian ownership, and had already been heavily modified for it's mission with NASA. I used to work on this project, many years ago...

Sadly, that aircraft sits out in the weather at Moffett Field, CA. Most of the C-141's have been chopped up...I wonder if there are any more A models left?

I seriously doubt it would have as it would have been an oddball in the C-141B fleet. If it was going to be a uniquely configured plane, it made sense for NASA to have it.
