Very Cool! What a great picture! The X-15 and that early B-52A with the dayglo paint. That photograph looks to have been be taken taken at Edwards AFB. That B-52A was and is at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ for many years and now has so much corrosion they are not sure what to do with it from what we were told by someone that volunteers there. Very expensive to fix even for just display. You can see it at Pima Air Museum in Tucson in the back area where they started to take off all the paint to figure it all out I guess.
