This stunning print captures the sleek and powerful Convair B-58A-10-CF Hustler 59-2440, belonging to the United States Air Force, at RAF Mildenhall in May 1969. This particular aircraft, with serial number 44, was assigned to the prestigious 64th Bombardment Squadron of the 43rd Bombardment Wing based at Carswell AFB in Texas before being transferred to Little Rock AFB in Arkansas.
The B-58 Hustler was a revolutionary supersonic bomber that pushed the boundaries of aviation technology during its time. Its distinctive delta wing design and impressive speed made it a formidable presence in the skies. Unfortunately, this specific aircraft met its end on January 8, 1970 when it was disposed of and ultimately scrapped.

For enthusiasts and historians alike, this print serves as a poignant reminder of an era when innovation soared high above the clouds. It is a tribute to not only the Convair B-58A Hustler itself but also to all those who flew and maintained these remarkable machines with skill and dedication.
