History:
The Martin/General Dynamics RB-57F Canberra is a specialized strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed in the 1960s for the United States Air Force by General Dynamics from the Martin B-57 Canberra tactical bomber, which itself was a license-built version of the English Electric Canberra. It was operationally assigned to the Air Weather Service for weather reconnaissance involving high-altitude atmospheric sampling and radiation detection in support of nuclear test monitoring, but four of the 21 modified aircraft performed solely as strategic reconnaissance platforms in Japan and Germany.

    I was going to attemp to try and convert this into a B-57G tropic moon III(my avatar picture) and add some laser-guided bombs or a slew-controlled minigun cause that's what the B-57G had, but I don't use XML,nor can I modify XMLed parts correctly and I'm not good with camouflage. If your wondering, I was going to tell you if I could have permission to post it if it was going well.

    Nice build. The original RB-57 preceded the U-2, so it's technically a "predecessor" to the U-2. This version, the "F", is a later variant, NASA still flies it today, very cool!
