DC-8, T-33, and is that a B-57 tail in the back?

The scallops on the 787 engine nacelle perform the same function, and look cool at the same time.

Yup .

Also, to explore how VORs and other navaids performed at the high altitudes new jet aircraft were now routinely flying, the U.S. Air Force agreed to loan two Martin B-57 Canberra bombers to the CAA for high-altitude checks. The Air Force also pulled two Boeing KC-135s from the production line for fitting as high-altitude flight inspection aircraft for loan to the CAA.

I was planning a post about the TV-2. Found some really nice photos of it. Also, that Canberra has the old side-by-side cockpit, not the tandem.

Yeah, Martin built 8 B-57A s with the side-by-side seating, but the USAF didn’t consider them combat-ready and used them for tests or bailed them to other agencies. All of them were destroyed in accidents or recycled at AMARC.

That’s okay. I always like the tandem cockpit better from an aesthetic standpoint. More like the B-47.

It’s interesting though that the USAF went from a tandem to SBS for the B-52, but the other way on the B-57. Granted, they were designed for different jobs, but it’s still odd.

The SBS seating in the Buff was all LeMay’s doing.
