Damn, that is a sad picture.... I still remember sitting at the end of the
active at Grissom and watching these come in (I was quite a bit younger
then....).

Am I seeing faded black paint on those engine nacelles? Could this be
"evidence" for the fabled "camouflaged Hustler"?!?

Or perhaps just some anti-glare for the eyeballs onboard? (though I've
never have seen this used on any other B-58.)

Or just the way the metal weathered?

Or perhaps I am just hallucinating. Highly unlikely, though - the lavender
aardvark on the couch would have warned me in that event...

I don't think you are seeing black. They had been sitting there for at least
3 years when those pictures were taken. It's more likely just oxidation.
This is how one of them looked in 1983, before it was restored at Pima
County Air Museum.
