This B-58A (nicknamed Snoopy) was the sixth B-58 to be built . It was used, at one time, to test radar systems for the GAR-9/AIM-47 missile for the F-108 Rapier and later the YF-12A.

In order to fit the rather large AN/ASG-18 fire control system into the B-58A, nearly seven feet had to be added to the overall length of the aircraft (that explains why it looks a little odd).

Snoopy was eventually placed out in the open on the photo test range at Edwards AFB. Note the photo resolution targets just to the south of the plane used to calibrate and test the accuracy of aerial photos.

There are more planes and targets along a long line to the ENE and WSW. [check-six.com]

USS Recruit (TDE-1 and TFFG-1) in San Diego, CA, the Navy’s first non-ship, was originally a commissioned vessel and observed traditional Naval shipboard procedures like all other vessels.

Affectionately known as USS Neversail, the Recruit was a two-thirds scale mock-up and served as an instructional platform for new recruits. When completed in 1949, it was 225 long, had a 24-foot, four inch beam and a 41-foot mast.

Today, with the closure of the Navy training station the Recruit is being preserved as an historical building. [quarterdeck.org]
