Damn, that is a sad picture.... I still remember sitting at the end of the
active at Grissom and watching these come in (I was quite a bit younger
then....).

Am I seeing faded black paint on those engine nacelles? Could this be
"evidence" for the fabled "camouflaged Hustler"?!?

Or perhaps just some anti-glare for the eyeballs onboard? (though I've
never have seen this used on any other B-58.)

Or just the way the metal weathered?

Or perhaps I am just hallucinating. Highly unlikely, though - the lavender
aardvark on the couch would have warned me in that event...

Photos by the late C.E. Calvert, member of the B-58 recovery/restoration
team.

I don't think you are seeing black. They had been sitting there for at least
3 years when those pictures were taken. It's more likely just oxidation.
This is how one of them looked in 1983, before it was restored at Pima
County Air Museum.

Still looks pretty, like the slightly past middle-aged woman who's grateful
for the attention (and is still a good ride).
