There’s one in the Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson. I would never fly on that thing. It’s skin is rippled badly, just scary to look at.

You are correct, but the history of that aircraft is interesting to say the least. It took a series of serious hits over North Vietnam and yet the crew managed to get her home.

They’ve all got rippled skin.

The newest ones are 50+ years old.
