Ooo wow! How old is that plane?

I thought planes that old were sold to the breakers? Or some lucky

Perhaps it's on reserve for museum purposes. Or perhaps it's retained as a
possible parts source for the remaining B-57 variants still in service.
NASA still operates a pair of WB-57Fs, I believe. Or perhaps it's an old
image.
