The first model aircraft I ever built was the Convair B-58 Hustler. I guess that’s why I like delta-
wing aircraft so much and I guess it’s why the B-58 is my favorite bomber. On display here is a B-
58A (61-2080). Hustlers were capable of Mach 2 speed. They saw service from 1960 to 1969
with its short life due to high maintenance costs that were three times as high as the B-52. It was
also difficult to fly as evidenced by the 26 Hustlers that were lost in accidents out of the 116 that
were built.
The Ling-Temco-Vought A-7 Corsair II was a carrier-based subsonic light attack aircraft design that
was introduced to replace the A-4 Skyhawk in US Naval service and was based on the successful
supersonic F-8 Crusader aircraft produced by Chance Vought. The A-7 was one of the first combat
aircraft to feature a head-up display (HUD), doppler-bounded inertial navigation system (INS), and a
turbofan engine. It initially entered service with the United States Navy during the Vietnam conflict
and was then adopted by the United States Air Force to replace their A-1 Skyraiders that were
borrowed from the Navy. The A-7 was also placed with Air National Guard units.
