In 1962, the Convair B-58 Hustler won the prestigious Bendix Trophy, showcasing its unmatched speed and performance. Piloted by Major Sidney J. Kubesch, Captain John Barrett, and Captain Gerard Williamson, the B-58 flew non-stop from Los Angeles to New York in just 2 hours and 1 minute, averaging over 1,214 mph. This record-breaking supersonic flight demonstrated the B-58's capabilities as the first operational bomber capable of sustained Mach 2 flight. The mission highlighted American airpower and strategic reach during the Cold War. The crew received the Bendix Trophy for their achievement, reinforcing the B-58's legacy in aviation history.

Calibre Wings' B-58 is the first diecast metal model of this aircraft to be produced in 1:72 scale. It features hinged canopies, magnetically attached landing gear and ordnance as well as an adjustable metal display stand. It arrives in a beautiful collectors's wooden box that can be used to store and protect the model when not on display.
