NASA Scientific Research Aircraft Visits
A NASA Scientific Research Aircraft was seen yesterday afternoon [Mar.3] parked at the LF Wade International Airport.
The Martin B-57 Canberra was a United States-built, twin jet engine bomber and reconnaissance aircraft but is believed to have been retired in 1983. The last remaining WB-57′s are assigned to the NASA Johnson Space Center as high altitude scientific research aircraft.

The Nasa website says, “Two fully operational WB-57 aircraft are based near JSC at Ellington Field. Both aircraft have been flying research missions since the early 1960′s, and continue to be an asset to the scientific community with professional, reliable, customer-oriented service designed to meet all scientific objectives.”
