Convair Hustler acquired by Californian museum

摘要

Formerly on display at the now defunct Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, Illinois, Convair YB-58A Hustler 55-0666 is being moved to a new home at the Castle Air Museum in Atwater, California. The transfer is being handled by Nebraska-based Worldwide Aircraft Recovery, which will transport the fuselage and wings separately. Once at Atwater, the jet will be reassembled and put on display. The Hustler, a pre-production model, is one of 11 YB-58As built. Only two are believed to survive, the other being 55-0665, thought to be in derelict condition at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
