US Air Force Convair B-58 59-2440. This is a repaint of the Alphasim B58 Hustler depicting the last known Hustler to be photographed in the U.K. in May 1969 at Mildenhall, 59-2440 of the USAF 43rd Bomb Wing Carswell AFB. This texture set is in .dds and is therefore for FSX only. The main texture files are in 2048 x 2048 for greater definition and have been extensively researched. Many thanks to Alphasim for what remains a glorious, sexy and challenging bird, and to Frank Safranek for his paint kit. By Dave Quincey.
