Start Your Week With A Hot B-58 Hustler (Orange Paint!)
Monday, April 15, 2013 at 07:49AM 
(click pic to enlarge) 1950's era B-58 Hustler.. one of the hottest aircraft ever built!
I figured this pic was a great way to get your week going... a B-58 Hustler from way back in the day shortly after takeoff with a positive rate of climb (probably VERY positive!) and with some swanky orange paint too. In fact, this is the first in a new sub-series of posts with the tag 'orange paint'.
Maybe it doesn't affect you the way that it does me, but those military paint schemes from the 50's and 60's that included orange accents just drive me wild - i love it! So I thought I'd find some great pix from the past over the next couple months and occasionally post 'em up.
And if you're in the mood for some additional Hustler info, be sure to check out the rather extensive collection of posts I've put up in the AirPigz B-58 category which includes and extensive set of posts from 2010 when I did a 'B-58 Week'. Lastly, if you haven't voted in the supersonic bomber poll, you might wanna go do that now. Over 500 votes are in and the B-58 has proven very popular!
So I hope you week (and mine) will be just like that B-58 taking off... fast, beautiful, a little scary and very goal-oriented : ) #mach2withyourhaironfire

Arguably the best looking jet aircraft ever built and flown...the #2, 3, 4 and maybe #5 birds wore this rare livery for a short time during the test phase from circa 1956-59.
