Convair built a total of 116 B-58 “Hustlers” of all types. About two-thirds (77) were written off in accidents. The B-58 was in service from 1960 to 1970. It was replaced by the FB-111 “Aardvark”. The B-58 was capable of Mach 2, but it was not well liked by its crews.

Sort of in service; they were already lining them up at Davis Monthan by early ‘68.
