The design of the B-58 was always one of my favorites, with its huge delta wings. Coolest bombers of the era: B-36, B-47 and B-58. B-52 I could take or leave. And what a marvelous toy that is, WOW!
Oh good Lord I'm drooling here! That is one Fabulous piece Will! That one was always on my bucket list, but at today's going prices I need to be a millionaire to get one. I do have a couple of smaller tin Hustler's which I'm glad to have though, but the Marx is the creme-de-la-creme. I can remember these flying over Milwaukee and getting the bejesus scared out of us by the #$%^! sonic boom! It would get reported on the news and we would have to be good little Cold War boys and girls and not complain (too much). Fortunately, it was incidences like those that caused the guvmint to ban supersonic flights over metropolitans areas.
Wow! Wow! Wow-wow-wow!!!

ReplyDeleteWow Ed! Amazing that you saw the real thing when they were flying. That must have been one hell of a sight....and sound!
ReplyDeleteActually we never saw a thing. We only knew it was there after it passed and scared crap out of us! LOL
