Model Convair B-58A Hustler

Airport: Tucson - Pima Air and Space Museum, USA - Arizona

The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber, and the first capable of Mach 2 flight. This particular Hustler was the last of 86 B-58As to be delivered to the USAF. She wears the markings of her last operator, the 305th Bombardment Wing, based at Grissom AFB, Indiana. She is, in my opinion, one of the most impressive exhibits at Pima.
