A truly extreme aircraft in many aspects and luckily well preserved, albeit with fake - though nicely modeled - engines and pylons. A main gear strut failure while landing at Little Rock AFB (AR) in July 1968 caused enough damage for this supersonic bomber to be permanently grounded. On display just behind the former main gate of Kelly AFB in full markings of its operational unit. The SAC Milky Way nose ribbon is overlaid with SAC's shield on the other side.
