Description: “Cruising Speed” features a Convair B-58 “Hustler” as she flies at high altitude over a broken cloud deck while streaming contrail plumes from her General Electric J79 engines. Fort Worth, Texas aircraft company Convair began developing the B-58 just three years after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 in 1947! In 1950, the U. S. Air Force contracted Convair to investigate a bomber with a range of approximately 3,000 miles and strike targets at one-and-a half times the speed of sound. Convair was awarded a Phase 1 development contract, and on November 11, 1956, the Hustler took flight. Hustler crews broke numerous records, and won five major aeronautical trophies (Bendix, Thompson, Mackay, Bleriot, and Harmon trophies). This giclee fine art print is limited to only 20 hand-signed and numbered editions. Each is printed on 60 lb. archival paper to ensure the colors are vivid for many years if properly cared for. Each print is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity bearing my signature, the print number, and other information. A portion of your purchase goes to the Gary Sinise Foundation. Shipping is FREE via USPS Priority Mail.
