Alaska Freepers, scramble for intercept!

Gonna' Nuke the Bastards? (B-58 Hustler was a nuclear armed bomber. It was supersonic, the only supersonic bomber the US ever deployed (well other than the FB-11, made in the same plant in Ft. Worth) but was never armed with conventional weapons of any kind, except the 20mm defensive cannon in the tail. That entire "pod" under the aircraft, which was part fuel tank, part bomb, would be dropped onto the enemy.)

Ah, but the B-1 is supersonic as well...And yes, the Hustler was a heck of an airplane.
