Yea , nothing like an undersea boat.

I wonder if it has a screen door?

"Because I was with a group I didn’t get a chance to walk around a B-52 and I think a B-58 at that time. Are they still there?"

Yes and an SR-71 Blackbird too. (Still the fastest plane ever built)

"I walked that sub’s interior in 1988 on a mission trip to Dauphin, Island. At 6’1” the only place I could stand up fully was in the galley. Cool sub, though."

I'm 6'0" and was stationed on a sub (USS Jallao) like the USS Drum in the early 60's.

. . . world of luxury personal submarine ownership . . .

At $78 Million, I'll take half a dozen... they'll make good stocking stuffers.

"Is there really a B-58 there? Maybe what I recalled was that it was one of the last or the last F-105 Thunderchief."

I'm not sure about the B-58.

"I think the sub was in the water back then. Looks like they pulled her out. Good idea."

Katrina damaged it and it was brought on land then

There are other aircraft at the site...I just don't know what they are. I hope we can get a space shuttle there.
