Dedicated on 17 November 1991 to the Kelly Field Heritage Foundation by Lt Gen (Ret) Thomas McMullen, Maj Gen (Ret) Lewis G. Curtis, and Maj Gen Richard D. Smith, the B-58 was the world's first supersonic strategic bomber and set numerous records over its ten years of operation. Designed under the Weapons System Concept, it represented a leap into the future. The challenge of managing the B-58 spurred creation of a new directorate at Kelly AFB, a key step in the fundamental revision of Air Force management practices. In gratitude for the countless hours spent turning a B-58 shell into the gallant bomber displayed here, the Kelly Field Heritage Foundation saluted the men and women of the 2954th Combat Logistics Support Squadron for their skill, dedication, and hard work. The aircraft is on loan from the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
