I appreciate the BUFF, but nothing compares to the cool factor of the B-58 Hustler.

We have destroyed this thread on lighted grills!

And I love it.

Never worked the Hustler.

The first one I ever saw was at Chanute AFB in 1975.

Often called the "Satanic Hustler" due to its tail flash.

Came around the corner, my first trip to the chow hall, turned the corner, and saw her.

What is that!

Smitten for life!

Struck by a lightning bolt!

Spent time with her twice, tech school, then an advance school.

Then Chanute closed due to BRAC, one of the oldest bases, with an amazing history.

"On Broken Wings" Chanute Air Force Base (youtube.com)

The classroom with Lance Sijan, I studied in.

If you don't know Sijan, worth a search.

What would happen to the airframes that rocked me? They opened the Octave Aviation Museum, visitations were sadly low.

Many scrapped on site.

The B-58?

The EC-121?

The RB-36?

Thankfully they were saved.


The EC-121 was disassembled and went to Michigan.

The RB-36 and the B-58 went to Castle AFB for restoration.

The NLG on the B-58 was shot, what to do?

They went to SNOOPY a one-off B-58 that is rotting in the Edwards AFB desert, and stole the NLG from it.

B-58 Snoopy is another good search!

So the B-58 I fell in love with, will dazzle some new folks ............... soon!

You find very few people anymore who even heard of the Strategic Air Command.
Surprising number of SACumcised killers here! Worked with G's and A's (BUFFs and 135s) prior to going to the rubber dogsh!t haulers.
SAC had its sh!t together, especially compared to what we see in the current bomb wings.

B-58s, btw, are a whole nuther level. Beautiful, fast, very cool and incredibly dangerous. Like some of women I've known.
