That is very cool! Think I might be adding that to my wish list.
Is this is the aircraft that lost it’s contract to the Canberra?

Oh hy, that thing is sooo ugly. I need it.
Will have to look into this little episode and find out a little more. I’m guessing that the XB-51 had some technical issues.
I have to admit that I always thought that the Canberra was the best choice. It may not have been setting the world on fire performance wise, but it was a good, solid design that proved very adaptable. I can’t see the B-51 doing what the 57 did. Don’t NASA still have a couple flying for atmospheric research?
NASA is still flying three WB-57Fs.
