Ooo wow! How old is that plane?

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


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.

Certainly not an old image. I took the picture at the beginning of
November 2010.

52-1506 EB-57B on what is known as "Celebrity Row"
a display of many of the various sircraft that have passed through
AMARC Arrived at AMARC in 1981,
from the 134th Defense system Evaluation Squadron

there should have been a long wing B-57 next to it.
and a F-16 on the other side.


Here's another EB-57B seen at the Davis-Monthan open house in March,
1977.
