Catalog description
B-58A Hustler, part number TAMC040, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $138.99.
The B-58 Hustler developed by Convair was the world's first operational supersonic bomber and the first capable of reaching Mach 2 speeds. At full speed it gave a distinctive sonic boom that gained the aircraft public notoriety. A delta-wing aircraft the B-58 was difficult to fly and its 3-man crews were considered elite personnel. The B-58 had an unusually high accident rate and a lower payload and shorter range compared to the B-52 despite being much more expensive to build and maintain. New surface-to-air missiles negated the B-58's speed by forcing any theoretical missions to be flown at low altitude and the type was retired from service in 1970. Meticulous detailing and a hardwood construction make this model a superb choice for any enthusiast or collector.
