The RB-57F was developed from the Martin B-57B, as a very high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. Modified by General Dynamics, it featured a new wing with twice the area of the B-57B wing, along with enlarged tail surfaces. The standard engines were replaced with two GE TF-33 turbofan engines and two P&W J-60 jet engines. for additional thrust at cruising altitude.
A version of the aircraft was used for weather reconnaissance, including radiation sampling in support of nuclear test monitoring. They were redesignated WB in 1968.
Stress fractures in the wing spars and ribs forced the aircraft to be retired early. Three aircraft were transferred to NASA for research purposes.

A visit to Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona is a must for all aircraft enthusiasts as this is the home of AMARC (Aircraft Maintenance And Regeneration Center). The aircraft re-cycling division of the USA forces. The great aircraft boneyard in the Arizona desert holds around 4400 airframes with a book value of $23.6BN . Large numbers of KC-135, Lockheed Orion, C-130 Hercules and F-16 Fighting Falcons are currently stored here (2020); but there are plenty of more interesting aircraft too. In some cases, like the Delta Dart and Canberra, just one example is in store. There is currently a major programme to convert redundant F16C Fighting Falcons into Drone aircraft. Boeing has a contract to convert several hundred at a cost of $21M each - only for them to be shot down by modern weapons packages as part of F22 Lightning II training for pilots.

History of the F-111E "Aardvark"
The F-111E was a long-range, all-weather strike aircraft, first manufactured in 1967. They were used during the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm bombing raids, and in the Gulf War for strategic bombing, ground attack, and electronic warfare missions. These aircraft were credited with destroying roughly 1,500 tanks and armored vehicles.
The F-111E "Aardvark" at Hill Air Force Base
In 1965, the Ogden Air Materiel Area was assigned the specialized repair of the F-111A aircraft equipment-including struts, wheels, and brakes. Over the years, Hill Air Force Base also maintained, supported, and oversaw several F-111 aircrew training systems and simulators. The F-111E on display was manufactured in 1969, and it served on several bases within the United States and at the Royal Air Force Base in Upper Heyford, England, in 1971. In 1994, this aircraft moved to the Hill Aerospace Museum for display.
Interesting Fact
The F-111E set a record for the longest low-level supersonic flight (172 miles at less than 1,000 feet altitude) on November 9th, 1966. It was also the first tactical aircraft to cross the Atlantic from the United States to Europe without refueling in May 1967.
