XB-51 obviously . Was used in the show "tales of tomorrow" episode Plague from space. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0717040/ no idea on what it was called


There was another full length movie about test pilots, Toward the Unknow, where the XB-51 played the role of the Gilbert XF-120.

The 51's costars were William Holden, Virginia Leith, Lloyd Nolen, and a very young James Garner. If you are into X-planes its a good movie to see. Much of it was filmed on location at Edwards AFB with the full cooperation of the Air force, and an lot of hardware is on display. Some of the flying featured in the movie was done by the Thunderbirds.
