Default The Hustler - b58 17.jpg (1/1)

When I went to Tucson a couple of year ago, I was amazed that I didn't any
of these in the Boneyards. There was several aircraft that where a little
older. But apart from the one at the Pima there wasn't any B58 Hustlers. I
suppose with all that high quality non space age metal the B58 was a good
target for melting and scrapping. As such the scrappers must have managed
to do their evil deeds 20 years earlier... In fairness the Hustler was from
an era when it was more fashionable to scrap it and melt it than preserve
it... Personally it was always one of my Favorites from that era. To me it
always looked mean and fast, yet with all those streamlined polished
surfaces also strangely elegant.
