This was an original prototype of the B-58 hustler. So different than the production model...

That thing looks like it is going Mach2 sitting still. Good looking aircraft.

That's a rip off German design.

Anyone work at Fort Worth General Dynamics/Lockheed plant in the 70's and 80's? I can't remember which X planes went through there. FW transferred a bunch of the mockup molds, jigs and all that stuff to the Abilene plant when I was there.

The B-58 has the smallest canards I've ever seen.

I have so much respect for test pilots-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

I have so much respect for test pilots- I've seen some at Lockheed do things that were insane. Brass balls.
