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.

There should be one at the museum at Offutt (sp?) AFB in Omaha, at least
there was one there in 1974.
