In the MASDC storage area. Arrived in storage on 26 Jun 1974. Inventory code BC211. Later scrapped. Used by AFFTC as NB-52E Control Configured Vehicle operated by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory to test ride comfort improvements during turbulent flight conditions. info from Joe Baugher's excellent website. In front is F-11A 141824.

Operated by AFFTC / General Electric. The following info is from Joe Baugher's great website. Bailed to GE Flight Test Jan 1966 and converted to NB-52E as engine testbed for TF39 and CF6. Put in long term storage in 1972. Decommissioned by GE in 1980 and towed to south end of lakebed at Rogers Dry Lake. Years later in 1991 it was broken up by explosive charges according to provisions of SALT treaty. It seems that a Russian photo interpreter noticed that the plane seem to be intact and ready to go, and insisted that it be rendered inoperative. Seen at Rogers Dry Lake in three pieces.

Scrapped. Used to study load alleviation systems to reduce airframe fatigue.

Parked in Celebrity Row at MASDC.

The Control Configured Vehicle test NB-52E was fitted with three canard control surfaces (two horizontal and one ventral) which were linked to computers receiving flight data from sensors mounted throughout the aircraft monitoring turbulence, which fed back compensatory control inputs. Although here on 'Celebrity Row' next to the prototype for the Boeing 707, she was scrapped in 10.93
