Always liked that plane. Got to see a couple fly at airshows in the fifties. Also saw Yaeger flying the XB-51 at an airshow. That was a spectacular flight So low, and fast, you could see the shock wave effects around the nose. The announcer said the field's radar clocked it at over 700, but that could just be announcer hype. He was really moving and when he got past end of crowd he pulled it up to an almost vertical climb with continual aileron rolls! Not as pretty as the B-45, but it sure put on a good show!
