The B58 doesn't get the recognition that it deserves, possibly because the Hustler was prematurely retired by the mid 1960s. Also, only built in fairly limited numbers. Unusual three crew in tandem cockpits...massive centerline pod, well illustrated in this great shot. A triumph for Convair engineering, first flown way back in 1956, retired only nine years later!
