Truly beautiful plane. I built a scale model when I was a young lad.

HA! Me too! I loved that plane, but it disappeared pretty fast. For that matter, so did the B-47. I built a model of that one too.

My father worked on the analog computers for the tail guns for B-52’s so this stuff mattered in our household. I’m two years older than the B-58.

Me,too. Same timeframe as Cobra64.

Loved that model and the plane.

True awesomeness.

Me too! It was my inspiration to pursue Aviation. Hands-down my favorite war bird.

I highly recommend the Air Force videos on YouTube, narrated
by Jimmy Stewart on the B 58.
