Ellington Field - circa 1998
Barnstormer et al.
Was fortunate enough to be at Ellington Field in 1998 for an airshow (Nimrod display) and whilst waiting for nothing in particular, just happened to do that 'British Officer I can go anywhere I fancy' thing. I wandered into one of the NASA hangars and was confronted by the most weirdly beautiful aircraft I think I have ever seen. Not sure if it was an RB-45 or the B57 variant, but it had much longer wings than a standard 'Berra' and larger engines and painted white with black flashing. I didn't hang around as a Master Chief was zeroed in on me and I scarpered before it got complicated!
