Alright so i was scrolling around on youtube and i forgot the band “One Direction” filmed one of their music videos at a NASA base. I clicked on it and saw a bunch of aircraft’s in the background that i knew but this one is something else… the wings are absolutely massive (length) and im not sure what the aircraft is. the photo doesn’t show much but here it is:
it’s a Martin B57 canberra. it’s from the 50s and was used as a bomber, high altitude reconnaissance and now with nasa i believe it does weather stuff
Hmm interesting, thanks!
The video was filmed at Ellington Field, Houston, Texas. This particular shot with the WB57 features this squareish hangar which gives it away:
I found it on google maps here:
The aircraft was located here and the shot was taken from over here.
If you like the aircraft, I believe Ellington Field in Houston is sadly the last place it regularly flies, as it is over 50 years old.
It’s an ugly we bomber.
Banger of a song and banger of a band
yeah, such an interesting aircraft
