I am sad that I never got to see one of these B-58's fly. I grew up camping near Plattsburg NY and watching B-52's and KC-135's fly overhead during the 60's. One of my favorites for sure.
I always Thought The Hustler was ahead of its time. They Need To Bring it back Modernized (Evil Grin) Honestly I think with Updated Engineds and Updated Avionics and Airframe Design and enhancement Changes, I think Convair would have gotten it right. Since the Remnants of the Convair Aersoace Corporation is Now Owned By Lockheed Martin. L-M Would definately Be the one to revive the Design. Would be definately knock out some of the current Bombers succh as the B-1B Lancer and would be back with its big Brother the B-52. Now that the B-52J Models are coming into being, i think the B-58 Would make a dent in Strategic Bombers. Great Comments Guys Keep Em Coming!
This was always one of my favorites at Pima.
It just has speed written all over it.

For me this remains one of the most beautiful planes ever designed.
This the one they got it right.
