They flew the B-60 but never with the nuclear engines installed before
the plug was pulled. The engines used for test flights were normal
turbo jets.

There was an article on this beast in "Smithsonian Air & Space" a few months
back (which, by the way, is THE most fascinating aviation magazine out
there, IMHO). What a crazy idea!

This thing would have been an absolute catastrophe waiting to happen. It
was mercifully killed before it could prowl the skies.
