Photo Comment

I had gone to the base this day to shoot the F-101Bs of the ANG, and this B-57 was on the ramp also. I later learned that it was the last US jet bomber to leave Southeast Asia, and because of that it is now part of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, and is awaiting restoration at their Dulles facility.
