It may not be an odd one, but it's my favorite old timer. The Convair B-58 Hustler. The first supersonic bomber built in the West.

I've always wanted to fly this baby. A top-secret "stealth" plane.

They lost 3 of those last year. They're pretty sure they're on the flightline, somewhere.

,,, from memory there were at least two variants of the Hustler - one was adapted as a reconnaissance version, the other to deliver ordnance. Which one do you think your photo shows?

Outstanding! I followed the link to the web site and have bookmarked it. I did not know such a place existed. Thanks.

The photo I posted is a photograph of a model of the B-58A production model of which 86 were built.
The RB-58A was the reconnaissance model which was re-built from the YB-58A airframe.
There were 17 converted from the YB-58A pre-production trial aircraft.
Here's a better photo:
