UPDATE: You must physically visit this location to be able to log this as a find. Virtual visits are not allowed.

The Convair B-58 Hustler was the U.S. Air Force's first supersonic bomber. With a length of 96'10" and a wingspan of 56'10", the delta-winged Hustler could fly as fast as Mach 2. B-58s set 19 world records for speed and altitude before they were retired from active service in 1970.

Fill in the blank:

In gratitude for the countless hours spent turning a B-58 shell into the gallant bomber displayed here, the Kelly Field Heritage Foundation salutes the men and women of the _____ Combat Logistics Support Squadron for their skill, dedication, and hard work.

The answer can be found on a plaque near the cache coordinates. Email me the number missing above to claim this cache. Do not post the answer here, even if encrypted.

While you're on the grounds of KellyUSA, be sure to check out the other airplanes on display. From this location, you can see a General Dynamics FB-111 and a Convair F-106 Delta Dart. There may be others that I didn't see while I was here. Be careful not to wander into any restricted areas.
