B-58 Hustler Crash in the Great Salt Lake

The original B-58 bomber

A fascinating story came out on The War Zone a few days back about how the Navy assisted with finding an US Air Force RB-58 Hustler that had crashed in the Great Salt Lake back in 1960. To be honest, I think the article on The Drive is pretty poorly written and doesn't have much info as to the how and why of the incident at all, and really just focuses on the aircraft and equipment used, but they did have a scan of an original article written about at the time from the New York Times, which has some good detail, which I will put here for your education on it:


Pretty neat little bit of local history, as I don't think I've read too much about it before.
