Description
The front of a B-58 Hustler. From the Dayton Daily News: "HUSTLER MAKES IT-- The newest addition to the Air Force museum's aircraft collection, this supersonic Convair B-58 Hustler, arrived at Wright-Patterson Air Force base Monday almost half an hour ahead of schedule--and no wonder. It's the same B-58 that won the Bendix trophy in 1962 setting a speed record of 1214 miles an hour from Los Angles to New York and then flew back to Los Angeles for another record of 1,081 mph. The plane will be displayed in the museum's outdoor exhibit area."
