This is pretty cool if you have a big back yard and a spare $10,000 kicking around!

God this belongs in a museum and should definitely be tightly controlled on whom purchases this. I can see Jahad Johnny drooling over this as simulator now.

He should be able to find the Tail Number on the upper left hand of panel,or if removed on the Yoke,A/C side towards the bottom with the Boeing mark.

My guess is they got it back in the early 90's when Chanute AFB was Decommissioned and they scrapped alot of the Display birds.
They had a picture in the local paper on news of Guys who either worked or Flew the BUFF getting parts. One guy was an Navigator and got the seat,panel etc...... for his wreck room.
They even Chopped-up a B-36 but the Fighters they had for POL training A-10,F-15,F-4 if I remember were sent to bases for the Pole.
I asked about the HOG,I had my SSB in the bank still

ARRRRGH! That's just wrong. That one was in front of the main post office and was our squadron aircraft..if you pissed off the 1st shirt you got to spend Saturdays cleaning the bird droppings off it.

It was a SAD SIGHT! The scap yards bidding on display birds and then chopping them to bits!<img src=newicons/anim_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/madani.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

I watch them do some cutting on a bird couldnt even tell what it was.
The AIR MUSEUM has alot of them,but some are in pretty bad shape,I went down there last time in C/U and saw one of the CT-39's I worked on while a Scott AFB it was pittiful<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

But they do have that "HUSTLER" all polished-up (B-56)it's pretty cool.

Yup. Oddly enough, bought to you by the same folks who built the B-36 (Consolodated Vultee, but by then known as Convair) with more than a passing resemblence to the F-102/F-106 on steroids.

OC

Bill, I remember you still and I was SwampBird's ACC for short time on 166 until he went to MOC in the late summer of 85,part of those 75th (Give-aways to the 76th's Drug bust) and fished with him in the Bass club ,and your right it was the B-58 thats why I put
(B-56) but forgot the ??????

I'm still waiting on Throny to get home to call me,

Ok Goose, here's your B-58 40 years ago this year. Unfortunately, the pic comes complete with class 28056C (I'm front row, first one on the right..kneeling..and it killed my spit shine). Anyone remember what the uniforms the instructors are wearing were called?

Those old brown ones were called "402'S" werent they? I'm just trying to guess I didnt look it up, I just know when "Rocky" re-enlisted after a (long break) from the USAF he showed-up at EAFB.LA wearing them.
The Guards didnt know "WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?"
Its funnier when he tells it.

They have that B-58 in the Hangar open for display with all the weapons it could carry,its a pretty cool display.

I just cant believe after all these years the stripes E-1 TO E-6 are the same again .

Not a bad guess Goose but they were called 1505's. They were comfortable but a bitch to keep any kind of crease. Next time I'm out that way I'll have to stop by, it's good they're taking care of the old girl. I always thought the B-58 was one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built.

OC

I was way-off!

I think its in the 3rd Hangar, but its pretty hard to miss,just follow all the "BAD KIDS" (Boot Camp) marching and their right across the street.

I havent been there in about 2 yrs(I live 40 miles from it) I think they moved the Korean War Museum their too.
