Default Anyone remember the B-58 in "SST: DEATH FLIGHT?"

OK, I was browsing the Internet Movie Database, checking out disaster
flicks, after seeing "Airport 1975" on American Movie Classics the other
day. (It had some great flying and sequences that stood up well.) So I found
a movie called "SST: Death Flight" that I think I remember seeing some years
ago. Anyone else seen it?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076650/

I was wondering if this was the one where a repainted/touched up B-58
Hustler model was used for the American SST in the movie. I got a kick out
of that, so if anyone else remembers, I was wondering if you could confirm.

Either way, I'd love to see that movie, whichever it was, on DVD, just for
the B-58. Call me nuts, but that would be cool. Heck, there are a lot of
aviation movies I'd like to see on DVD.

"Zero Hour" from 1959 (One of the earlier ones, and inspired the spoof
"Airplane" in a big way.)

"The Crowded Sky" from 1961. (I wonder if the idea of a hole in the plane in
"Airport 1975" was based on the runaway prop gouging one in this movie.)

"Starflight: The Plane that Couldn't Land" from 1983 (TV) with Hal Linden.
One of the few movies made with a Hypersonic Transport in it. Mayybe the
only one. That may be because the studios saw this one and decided not to
make any more :+(
