Your Sunday Morning Jet Noise

Low-level flying in a B-58.


The B-58 had a relatively short service life. It quite possibly had the shortest operational life of any postwar bomber.

I did too, but sadly all it had was cool. The SA-2 made it useless in its high-altitude design role and turned it into a colossally expensive low-level, subsonic airplane. SAC couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

The phrase "postwar bomber" makes me sad.

I read somewhere that it had problems with its landing gear, which had to be relatively small to fit in the narrow airframe. High speed blowouts, etc. One commenter described it as "a bear in toe shoes."
