Aviation technology: The Air Force Boneyard. Pity is there just is no peacetime demand for these magnificent flying machines.

they should be donated to youtubers to see who can destroy them in the most inventive ways .
someone will eat one .
someone will insert one etc etc .

Some fine records were set by John Denvers dad, Lt. Col. Henry John Deutschendorf, Sr. in the Hustler

Yeah well I wouldn't mind having a gleaming polished aluminum F-16 in my backyard... 'course I'd have to replace the decals with peace sings.....

Plenty of demand in my mind. Lack of money and storage space is an issue. B-58 was bitchin'.

The B36 at the 3 min mark I had my hands on at one time during the restoration in Fort Worth....

This is where she "lived" for a looong time before it was moved outside the main gate to "General Dynamics" Fort Worth

History of how it was put back into the beautiful condition it is now in......

Awesome bomber,,,,and correct the B58 never dropped a bomb in anger which is a good thing because it was designed only to carry a nuclear payload,,it never was retrofitted to carry conventional munitions.

Thank you OP! I Love Aviation and Vintage Aircraft. 5 stars for you.

Yeah the most beautiful visual manifestation in aviation technology ever presented.
I can only say that because it was never used as intended.

Who knows..

One might even fly one
