62-0001 (cn 278-1) The proposed fleet of B-70 deep penetration nuclear bombers was cancelled in 1961 due to high costs and the introduction of ICBMs, but two prototypes of this awesome six-engined Mach 3 beauty were used in supersonic test flights from 1964 to 1969. One crashed following a midair collision with an F-104 while filming in 1966, the other became an outstanding exhibit at the USAFM, arriving on 4.2.69. One of the most memorable sights of my first visit to the USA |

62-0001 (cn 278-1) Back in 1987 the XB-70A Valkyrie was on display outside and her sheer size just dominated the area around her. |

62-0001 (cn 278-1) This angle shows why the XB-70A Valkyrie was unofficially nicknamed 'Cecil' by her test crews after a children's tv cartoon character 'Cecil the Sea-Sick Sea Serpent'. |

62-0001 (cn 278-1) The sole remaining example of what one A.net sage called perhaps "the single most beautiful thing man ever made from metal" surely deserves to be cleaner than this. |

62-0001 (cn 278-1) USAF Museum. First of only two built. This Mach 3+ strategic bomber looks like a prehistoric bird. The program was cancelled and the XB-70 made its last flight to the Museum in Feb 69. |
