Grissom Air Museum seeks help on Cold War-era bomber exhibit

BUNKER HILL, Ind. (Kokomo Tribune) — The aircraft museum at northern Indiana’s Grissom Air Reserve Base is seeking $100,000 boost from local government toward a building to protect and display one of the few surviving Cold War-era B-58 Hustler bombers.

Grissom Air Museum leaders are asking for Miami County economic development fund money as they plan the estimated $700,000 exhibit space featuring the bomber, dozens of which were stationed at the Indiana base in the 1960s.

The B-58 was the U.S. Air Force’s first operational supersonic bomber.

Officials hope to build a roof over the Hustler this year while continuing to raise money for the project.
