#1 52-00008 is one of the most significant individual aircraft ever built. I used to have a 1/72nd Revell model of it, complete with X-15 on its underwing pylon. I really regret losing that one.
I saw the actual aircraft many times at Edwards over the years. It was one of the rare RB-52Bs, with provision for a bomb-bay mounted recce pod, and the only survivor of that model.

#2 Was that pod borrowed from the B-58?
