B-57 Canberra (MLB) pix

[SengaB]

On my way to patrick AFB today to shop we stopped off at (MLB) Melbourne International Airport to see if there was anything interesting there. The last time I had been there was 2001.
I did see this B-57 Camberra on Google earth but had no idea it was still at MLB sitting there wasting away.
An MLB piloce officer suggested that I did ask the FBO if I could get an escort to photograph it.
Heres the shots.
Royal Air Force Canberra with some kind of promotional Hurricane titles on it as well.
Any information on it would be healpful.
Its Civilian Registration is N77844.

Nice shots, Senga, but it's not a B-52. The Canberra in US operations was designated the B-57.

Opps I meant to say B-57
Its easy to switch the B-57 and a 52 if you are not thinking. Thanks for letting me know.
I probably did it again even in this post :)

Rafal!!,
Why, Yes I did :)
I have no idea why you would be suprised with that. I do it when it is nessessary. It is nessessary when if I don't, I wouldn't be able to get the shot otherwise.

"Like last month when the cop told me to get the hell outta here" after I asked him of I could get a shot of the A380.

Plus FL isn't like NY, NJ. You feel like you can ask without the fear of being pounded into the ground.
Its more like IAD....RAFAL :)

An officer of the Law can be your best friend if you let him..YEP that what I always say...
