Author	Topic: NASA WB-57 long-range aircraft and its pilots

And what a story, the project dates back to 1944 and NASA's third WB-57 had spent 41 years all but forgotten in the Davis-Monthan boneyard before being brought back to life ten years ago. Does anyone know where I can find more information on these remarkable planes? I'd be very interested in interviews of the pilots who have or are currently flying them.
