Theo, thanks for that. My dad worked for Convair back in the fifties and took me out to the base in Ft. Worth to see this stunningly huge plane ('round about 1958 when I was five, as I recollect). The plane we saw was the version with single wheels rather than the multiwheeled trucks. My God those wheels were big. Strangely though, I remember being in love with the B-58 Hustler. For the little kid fast won over big. Wonder why that is? Anyhow, thanks again for the pic. SDF
