Most of the below listed aircraft were already outdated at the time of the
picture. Still used as base ops and special purpose assignments. The first
aircraft assigned to the B-58 Test Force was "Hustler's Mother", a C-47.
And since in the early days of the Test Force, we had no other aircraft and
many hands available, it was very highly polished. It was used by the B-58
Test Force Commander. As far as I know, there were no Wings or Squadrons of
most of the aircraft listed below at the time the picture was taken.
