X-Plane 10 And 11 Martin/General Dynamics RB-57F Canberra 1.0. The Martin/General Dynamics RB-57 F 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. Credit goes to Bernard Augras for the use of his pilot. By Philippe Gastebois.
