Looks like it has a bigger radome. Was this used to test some other
plane's radar? Maybe the F-111? P.

Nevermind - a closer look and it doesn't appear different than any
other B-58. Sorry. P.

When I went to Tucson a couple of year ago, I was amazed that I didn't any
of these in the Boneyards. There was several aircraft that where a little
older. But apart from the one at the Pima there wasn't any B58 Hustlers. I
suppose with all that high quality non space age metal the B58 was a good
target for melting and scrapping. As such the scrappers must have managed
to do their evil deeds 20 years earlier... In fairness the Hustler was from
an era when it was more fashionable to scrap it and melt it than preserve
it... Personally it was always one of my Favorites from that era. To me it
always looked mean and fast, yet with all those streamlined polished
surfaces also strangely elegant.

We still have one here at the Octave Chanute Museum In Rantoul Illinois at
the old Chanute AFB (now closed).
Ill have to see if I can dig up the pics I took of it. :D

There should be one at the museum at Offutt (sp?) AFB in Omaha, at least
there was one there in 1974.

Once a design has been retired there's no point in keeping any in the
boneyard.

Looks like the one that's out in the desert at Edwards behind where the
abandoned fire station is. Can't remember the name of the road, was there a
few times during survival equipment training firing the gyro jets. There's
also a B-52 in the same area.

How terrible sad...
When I was in Tucson even on the bus tour the eeriness of the place was
striking... Even sadder was the almost cavalier way in which "chunks" of
aircraft where scattered about the scrappers yards... Despite that strange
feeling of sadness that the place seems to evoke I am certainly going to
return to it. Perhaps the next time I will be a little perhaps more daring
and adventurous in my explorations. I definitely would like to do an aerial
photo shoot of the place...

Where you been?

Forget the daring and adventurous, unless you know someone. You have the
option of a guided tour, on a bus, with closed dirty windows that don't
open. You will follow a closed predetermined cours, and, if the bus is full,
you will only be able to shoot from one side of the bus. Your other option:
Buy the book at the Pima museum that has excellent pictures.

When I was there I took the bus tour twice... Once so I could sit on one
side of the bus and the second time so I could sit on the other side...
My adventures around the scrap yards and shooting from the fence where
called to abrupt halt by the approach of a very heavily armed individual who
managed with just his appearance to intimidate me. That and some strange
puffs of dust on a large sand hill that kept occurring after a strange crack
sound. The result point taken my silver rental car was nothing but tire
tracks. The next time I go there I am going to hire a pilot so I can do
some air to ground stuff...

Jim,
I am more of a lurker these days... I posted a series about Police Aviation
some weeks back after being away for over a year. Police Aviation has
become my main subject lately and I do the occasional photo flights with
several of the local Police Departments in and around the Washington DC
Metro area...

The attached image is from about 2 years ago, just after I vanished...
