Fun fact my grandma witnessed the pogo being tested and what she said was "it just bounced up and down up and down everyday"
-
The B-58 was still one of the coolest Bomber design ever
-
The b58 hustled it's way...into our hearts. That's magnificent sir. Keep up the good work
-
SR-71's taking off from a carrier? LOL!
-
"tested on live bears". One of the stranger pieces of information one learns when watching an aviation video.😂
-
It still mind blowing how since first Messerschmitt combat flight in 1942 and then only in 10 years we have been flying these beasts.
-
I would bet that watching an SR-71 Blackbird launch from a carrier the first time, just might be one of the most anxiety filled moments in military history.
-
Note to author: General Electric and General Dynamics have never been part of the same company, as far as I know.
-
as an airplane mechanic seeing these blueprints is actually really really cool considering how complex things are now as to how simple they were back then especially the APUs
-
Yes, let’s see a video about the SST version of the B-58!
-
Please implement all of the suggestions for future videos. This video was very impressive and the longer format is the best for me. Thanks for sharing your research and the skills necessary to produce such detailed content, yet not so detailed as to confuse us amateurs. 🙈🙉🙊 😎 🇺🇸

Hi! Autistic person here, I do not know how to explain the joy that I got when you brought up the B-58. I smiled and felt like my internal organs were tweaking, I fucking LOVE the B-58
-
Boeing had dope & unique lookin' aircrafts back in the 50s they're possibly still kind of new & up-to-date.
-
My father flew the last B 58 Hustler to the boneyard in the 1970s. I believe he may be the sole surviving pilot.
-
Am watching as I,m thinking about breakfast . Fabulous production as usual ! . Thanks /regards . Dave

The B58's GE J79 turbojet became very popular with the land speed record gang in the 1960s, both Craig Breedlove's Spirit Of America Sonic 1 and Art Alfons' Green Monster utilised this engine to capture the Land Speed Record
-
18:30 oh it beat off the competition, eh? 😂 “Hustler” title working on many levels
-
