Thanks PC. I'd like to see some of these teenage joystick flier land THAT baby on an aircraft carrier! lol

The only bomber I loved more was the Convair B-58 Hustler. Man, now that I think of it, the targeting system was inhibited by low computer ability . . .

I loved watching the B-58 do touch and goes when I was stationed at Whiteman AFB, Mo. The Hustler was a screamer and I read they plan on selling the static display at former K.I. Sawyer. At the time Whiteman was a huge airstrip with only hueys for the missile crews and some prop planes. Interestingly few of the base pilots were qualified to fly the flight club trainer because they lacked the hours.
Oh jeez, I just looked at your handle and realize you’re probably a spy. :-)
