I’m fairly certain that Little Rock AFB is not in Fort Worth, Texas. :wave:

Indeed not. But the 43rd Bombardment Wing was based at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth, and the B-58 was indeed based there. In fact it was built just a few miles away at Air Force Plant 4. At one time an example of almost every aircraft built in Fort Worth was on display close to the I-30/Highway 183 interchange. Currently the F-35 is built in Fort Worth.

Started my career ar AF Plant #4. Worked with guys who had designed bits of the B-58 back in the day. Actually AF Plant #4 is on the western edge of Carswell AFB, now called Joint Base something or other. :wave:
