Follow-up to my previous "In Thrust We Trust" photo. :D 767-300 with a light load and big-time increasing headwind in the climb. Standard ECON climb speed, too.

OK, I know technically it's a video, not a picture, but I shot this today at Ellington Field, Houston, TX. It's a Martin WB-57 Canberra operated by NASA's Johnson Space Center for high altitude research.

There are only two of these aircraft still in flyable condition in the world today, both of which are operated by NASA. Pretty neat.

 
Corsair in awesome condition. In fact, this thing still flies regularly. @ Lone Star Flight Museum, Galveston, TX.

I got a traffic call for one of those guys a couple of years ago. They didn't tell me what it was, and the call sign was NASA or something nondescript. Totally blew my mind when it flew less than 1000' over me. At the time, I had no idea that Canberras were still flying anywhere.
