Slide taken when Chanute AFB was still active. This is actually GRB-58A 55-666 painted as B-58A 61-2059. This a/c was originally built as a YB-58A. Transferred to Chanute in May 1964 as a ground instructional airframe. Redesignated GRB-58A in May 1965. Put on display at the base in 1967. After the Chanute Air Museum closed in 2015, this a/c was moved in August 2017 to the Castle Air Museum in California.
