Convair built 116 B-58s: 30 test and pre-production aircraft and 86 for operational service. Hustlers flew in the Strategic Air Command between 1960 and 1970. Setting 19 world speed and altitude records, B-58s also won five different aviation trophies.

Hustler
The delta-wing Hustler was the first USAF supersonic operational bomber. The thin fuselage prevented internal carriage of bombs so an external droppable pod beneath the fuselage contained extra fuel and a nuclear weapon or other specialized gear.
