That aircraft is all MUSCLE
|
John Denver's father,Lt Colonel Henry 'Dutch'Deutschendorf was a test pilot for the B58.
3 of his world records still stand.
|
Ahhh... that's one sexy bitch!
|
This was certainly a muscle plane and would'nt look dated even now
|
I was assigned to Little Rock AFB, as an Avionics Instrument Repairman, working on B-58's, in September of 1969. The aircraft was decommissioned in 1970, and I was sent to Grand Forks AFB, ND, to work on B-52H models.
The Hustler was, to me, the coolest aircraft EVER!
|
Look for Russian M-50. Wery cool plane, but it's history was much worser :( Stupid soviet leaders :(
|
I'd argue the B-58 was the most beautiful high performance aircraft the USAF ever owned. The F-16 would be a close second.
|
you wont be arguing with me StereoSpace...B-58is the essence of functional artwork.. A masterpiece to my eyes..
|
The B-1B nose and tail look a lot like a B-58. Is this an example of two designers reaching the same conclusion in supersonic design, or did some of the math migrate over to the B-1AB?
|
this was the prototype for the future of supersonic jets with future design concepts applied to planes designed built in the future. 1st of it"s type.
