To this day, the sleek Convair B-58 Hustler with its delta wings and wasp waist has lost none of its fascination. 55-0661 was the second prototype of Convair's Mach 2 strategic bomber and took off on its maiden flight on 16 February 1957. Nicknamed "Mach-in-Boid", the aircraft was used extensively for testing and evaluation and was, among other things, the first "Hustler" to carry out flight refuelling tests, test unique fuel tank/weapons nacelles or test the emergency exit in supersonic flight with the aid of an escape pod.
