Trivia #2
« on: November 15, 2010, 02:53:48 PM »
What plane set speed records in the late 50's and early 60's only to be black balled by McNamara in 1964 and last few in 1965. My dad cried the day this plane was taken from him.

Yes the B-58 Hustler. To this day I still think the Hustler is the most beautiful bomber ever made and could still serve in today's U.S.A.F

1st plane ever made to be worth more than its weight in gold.....had a model of one when I was a kid. Could it drop anything but nukes?

No I doubt I will ever come back I not well liked in this community. Every kill I get its always a cherry pick. I hunt alone and mostly hunt bombers any fighters I get are a bonus. I am not a hoarder but if I see a team mate in dire stress I will end it fast and keep on going. No room for the likes of me in this game anymore the way its played now. As for the Hustler it could also carry an ECM package and up to 4 Genie missiles.

FWIW I gave you some crap on 200, but never disliked you. There's few I'd say I disliked honestly. Hope you're doing well and hope to see you back in game to have fun and talk a little trash.  :aok

And to the original point, Hustler is a bad bellybutton a/c.
