Now on display in the Cold War Gallery of the National Museum of the USAF. Note the small 'Bendix Trophy Winner' titles underneath the cockpit. This aircraft earned that accolade for setting three speed records flying between Los Angeles to New York and back in March 1962. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
