That's a pretty plane. If I'd ever seen it....maybe I wouldn't have been shocked (but probably still) over the B2.My favorite was the B-58 Hustler. It was an amazing airplane, created as a complement to the B-52.
I had the plastic scale model of the B-58 Hustler. Beautiful and sleek.
Someone said the space program partly fizzled out because the Space Shuttle was boring and clunky instead of looking like 1950s SF magazine covers. So Sen.Proxmire could cut funding and say it was just a dump truck going back and forth.
