B-58 Hustler site

I haven't posted this for a while. If you're interested in the B-58
Hustler, take a look at my home page.

The "More B-58 Pictures Annex" link contains pictures and text taken from my
PowerPoint presentation on the Hustler.

There are also numerous links to other aviation sites, many of which also
show the B-58.

Very cool! Thanks.

Darrell,

When did you last fly the B-58? Did you personally fly along side the B-70
Valkyrie? http://members.cox.net/dumwid/46.jpg

It's impossible for me to imagine what flying the Hustler would have been
like, let alone having to stop flying it at some point and moving on to
something a_lot_slower.

Thanks again,

Randy

I'm not sure about the supersonic carrier pass. It looks just subsonic to me.
Asid from the preasure cloud not looking quite right, the camera and the people
around it seemed way to steady for being that close to a sonic boom. I have
tried to hold steady on an FA-18 max takeoff about 150' overhead and I simply
cannot control my body at that level of sound.

If you have the original without the slowed down section, look for any reaction
to the booms.

Isn't it an F-14 anyway? I've seen it before, it's good. What relevance does
it have to the B-58?

Anyone else notice the resemblance to the early Mirages?

Finally, *please* lose the music. It's awful. Other than that, some good
stuff.

My last Hustler flight must have been around December of 1970. We flew them
out to Davis-Monthan in Tucson, AZ to be destroyed as part of the SALT
Treaty. And.. no, I never got to fly formation with the B-70. I would
have love to do that.

Yeah, I then flew something SLOWER. Try the C-7A Caribou. From coming down
final approach at 220 in the Hustler, we flew final at about 70 in the Bou.

None. There's also a lot of links to other military aircraft that have
nothing to do with the B-58.

If the music bothers you turn it off. Right near the top of the page
theres a note under the sound control that says

NOTE: If the music bothers you, use the volume
control above to stop or decrease the sound

Go figure. Some people love the music, others hate it. That's why I give
each person the option.

Did you know Hank Deutschendorf? I understand he was one of the test
pilots on the B-58, and he was John Denver's father.

SCSI is *NOT* magic. There are *fundamental technical reasons* why it is
necessary to sacrifice a young goat to your SCSI chain now and then.

How fast was it to initiate an eject sequence ?

How was the envelope for successful ejection during T/O and
landing ? It seems like they didn't have a lot of success getting out
of that thing in a hurry.

Yes, I did notice.

In that case, I suggest you make 'off' rather than 'on' the default on
start.
