    Notes: Scanned slide duplicate. There is some discrepancies with this jets history, as this photo dates from 1966 while assigned to the 4713rd DSES at Stewart AFB, NY. This airframe was not converted to EB-57B until 1972, so it was a standard B-57B assigned to a DSES, which is odd but not out of the realm of possibility.
