There have been several mentions so far of the B-58 Hustler. I always
admired the looks of that aircraft, and never understood why it was scrapped
so soon while the B-52 continued in use indefinitely. Does anyone out
there know any details about what the problems were with the B-58,
and/or any interesting stories regarding them? If so, please post!

(By the way, for the movie/aviation buffs out there -- I recall seeing
shots of a B-58 in the movie "Fail Safe"; anybody recall any other movies
where this aircraft appeared?)
