Martin WB-57 (N927NA)
Comments
What is that?
One of 3 NASA's WB-57 high altitude platforms.
It's a 1963 NASA WB-57F, based on the earlier B-57 Canberra.

Wow! So many mods its a different plane.
QUELLE 2TAIT LES MISSIONS DE CET AVION ,
These aircraft were used during Shuttle launches to provide video and photos of the ascent.
It's interesting how many people see the video/photos and attribute them to being recorded from the International Space Station.

I flew that exact plane in the 60s. It's nice to see it still flying. The Canberra/B-57 platform served in many different types of missions. It was a very versatile platform.
and a great shot....
Au premier coup d'oeil, j'ai cru reconnaître un AVRO CF-100 !
Beautiful. I haven't seen the RB57 since the old days at KAFB. I didn't know the WB57 didn't have the "loiter" engines outboard from the big fans. Thanks for the photo
WB57 out of Ellington ELG and operated by NASA for high altitude weather reconnaissance
Stunning photo of a rare sight. Thanks for posting this so we can all see it.
Pour Pierre CANTIN l'AVRO 100 a un plan fixe médian du la dérive et les réacteurs sont plus prés du fuselage.. mais c'est vrai que vu comme ça... c'est trompeur.

Used to see it parked by us in San Jose, Costa Rica. Talked to a tech that said it was also used for sampling the atmosphere above the equatorial regions when it flew out of San Jose.
Awesome pic of such a fine vintage 1950's era jet.
Awesome photo of the WB-57. Keep it flying !
