The RB/WB-57 Series of aircraft-the problem is the ones stored out at Davis-Monthan are in poor shape they have not had their wings suported correctly while in storage and the problem with these and the other models i.e. RB-57B/Ds all variants suffer because there is only one wing spar and the Hours on the wing structure is only a 1,000 hours and the wing had a problem with seperating on landing just out of the outer jet engine. These were not designed for high dynamic loads (Q) and as it stands there are only 4 of these long wing birds.
