Interesting picture
Where is the B-58 & F-104 Starfighter, I saw them in the Paris air show in
1958
The B-58 was still in flight test mode in 1958, it wouldn't be operational
until 1961. The F-104 became opertional in January1958, but was grounded
soon after due to a succession of accidents. The photo may have been taken
during that period.
