Sorry, I was a little confused by the post's title.

NASA is currently flying two, they are adding a third.
The third has been on the ground for 41 years.

I know I saw one at altitude a couple years ago through the binoculars, it was fun to see it fly over.

An FSX native version would be very nice.

Thanks for this, Brad. Fascinating story about one of my all time favorite aircraft.

When I was a kid the Kentucky Air National Guard used to fly B-57s over the house. You get 3 of them together low and they make a pretty scary sound!

Same with 10 T-33s at a time!
