I remember seeing two B-58s banking in formation at low altitude near Houston in the 60s. Even though I was a little kid, I thought "Wow. Those are some awesome looking aircraft."
I have a aeronautical engineer friend who worked on Hustler design, among several other aircraft he is connected to. When he talks about his experiences, it is very obvious B-58 was by far his favorite.
I want to be an aeronautical engineer at Lockheed, and make some really cool aircraft, but I assume by the time I get there it will just be unmanned aircraft.
On a hot summer night in the late 1950s one of these B 58s did a aupersonic overflight of the city where i lived as a little boy.....They were playing with the local NIKE anti-aircraft defenses if my memory serves me right. Nothing and then a sudden rush with a tremendous boom! that rattled the windows and made the wall shake!!!! The crack of doom, and believe me, we were all scared blue of nuclear oblivion.......
Nicely done video.....a tribute to the human skill that went into the design construction testing and then operation of this amazing airplane. I believe it still holds some records for performance.
Gorgeous Delta Wing Jet. I think it had a part in the 60's film Fail Safe as one of the bombers targeting Moscow during the Cold War nuclear conflict scenario. Extraordinary plane.
I agree but there probably is a top secret aircraft already made or in the works that is similar to those planes. think about it, few people in the 19s and 60s probably knew about the secret planes (like the sr71, avrocar saucer and XB70 that we know about now) until they were publicly announced. modern versions of those planes are probably what a lot of ufo sightings probably are. experimental aircraft and demons)
You know, this was a challenging aircraft to pilot. Primitive compared to the control refinements today, it took an exceptional pilot to safely fly this aircraft, and the stress must have been unthinkable. I bet the guy would come back soaked in sweat, and after debriefing a hot shower and the bunk!!! And the navigator also had to be real focused, using radar and charts to guide the aircraft. Not like to day with inertial nav and GPS. These crews were the best ot the best of a great Air Force.
This was one sexy aircraft. Too bad it weighed a lot and sucked fuel like it was going out of style. Even the bombs were really heavy back then. This wonderful design was just a few years early because composite technology and weight reduction initiatives were just on the drawing board. Plus consider flight control computers would have reduced the need for a 3 man crew. And not to mention much more efficient engines. The B1-B is its legacy I would say. Still.... a very sexy airplane.
Are used to do voice overs for the wings channel one earth are you using the wings channel and such crappy music doesn’t make sense great plane though🙄
B-47 or XB-70 edit next?
Also sorry for the audio glitch at the very start of the video, the B-58 flyby audio I used was being very difficult
B-47
Make both idc the order
100% XB-70
No apology necessary, great video.
xb 70
One of the most beautiful aircraft ever created. I remember seeing them at Grissom AFB outside of Peru, Indiana. When I was just a little kid.
I pass by Grissom all the time, now all they fly are KC-135s
I used to go past there when I was a kid I didn’t know they had one there

Beutifull. Among The most alluring ever designed.
Im a simple man. I see the hustler and I subscribe

I do this for the stories of the airplane, and the people who saw it, and you gave me a great story! :D
Such a bad ass muscle car.
I mean jet.
lol
My father trained at Carswell AFB . Loved the B-58…

as a child this was my favorite toy plane. the most beautiful design I held in my hand
I like the looks of this plane
Swap out that pod for a rocket and release it at Mach 2 and 60,000 feet and what a fabulous air launch to orbit vehicle it could be.
Great video. Keep putting them out. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful aircraft.
What a shame there isn't one of these flying somewhere in the world today ... it's such a striking looking aircraft.

I have built a few models of this beautiful plane.
B 47 👍
I think it would be so cool to be able to do a fly by in a jet just once 😅 🤣 they are so amazing 🤩😍

Well said, these old airplanes are one heck of a masterpiece.
The B-58 is still faster than a B-1B Lancer! The Lancer would today be left in the 58's jet wake!
The B-1A would have put up a fair race if it was still a thing.
@@airbreadwich" I agree" , too bad the Air Force detuned the B-1B
It would be a different story! 👍
@@turkey0165 The USAF did not "detune" the B1-B.

Bro finnaly someone makes an edit about this beast. Too bad it was short lived😞
RIP to one of the coolest bombers ever!
@@airbreadwich on god. Building 1/72 version rn. Sick bomber
That is so cool!
@@airbreadwich thx bro
This jet was so far ahead of its time too bad that it was short lived and rendered obsolete 😢
Music name please ?
Trevor Something - Fade Away
@@airbreadwich thanks so much. Summer love with b36 is fantastic too
Failsafe 😳🇺🇸
Do b-29
И что теперь?
А у саске была катана.
