NASA's NB-52B, also known as “Balls 8”, participated in some of the most significant projects in aerospace history, like the launch missions of the X-15 program. After almost 50 years of flying service, the aircraft held the distinction of being NASA's oldest aircraft, as well as being the oldest B-52 on flying status. She is now preserved at the north gate of Edwards AFB. (1920px)
