Pima B-58
The B-58 Hustler was developed in the 1950s by Convair as a high-altitude supersonic bomber. As doctrines changed, it turned out to be a formidable low-altitude bomber as well but suffered from metal fatigue and was horribly expensive to operate. So, the USAF retired it in the mid 1960s. Nevertheless, it still looks as though it could give a good account of itself if ever called upon to go into battle. This is at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ. This is an old photo dug out of the archives and reprocessed.
