Been there done that. Snoopy was used for guided air to air munitions testing. The one B52 was used for testing the original engine for the Boeing 747. The Vodoo was flown by a former astronaut

The blown up B52 is NB-52E 57-0119 which was loaned to General Electric in the 60's then back into storage in 1972. It was used to test the TF 39 engine for the C5A cargo plane, and the CF6 engine that was used on 747, DC10, and A300 Airbus. It was blown up to satisfy a Soviet arms treaty. As can be seen in the video the #3 pylon, most inboard pylon on the right wing, is different then the other three pylons. 6:37 to 6:43.

Nice to know there's a partial parts source for the 7 or 8 surviving B-58s in museums throughout the country. Thanks for "risking your tail" to get these shots!

Yeah. That B-58 appears to be in condition to be restored as a static display. It’s easier to fabricate ‘look-alike’ parts than to find original! I have never seen a Hustler, not even a carcass, and old B-52s were likely scavenged thoroughly long ago because they’re still flying. Thanks for your work in creating this video.

Not too far from there rests B52 # 1 or 2 with an inline cockpit. Emblazoned on the nose is " supersonic dive test," another B58 and a B66. We used to access them via my buddies LA lake property in the 80s. So much history left to rot.

They're NOT abandoned: they're on Edwards AFB property! They know the planes are there - just in the past year, they removed the nosegear from the B-58, for use on another B-58 that's being restored in a museum. If base security catches you out there, you can face a federal rap.

They don't take trade ins on new military equipment. The B58 was last in service around 1970 the F101 around 1972. Of the about 740 B52s built between 1952-1962 only a bit more then 10% remain in service. Those 4 aircraft, expensive yes but no where near billions.
