Wasn't the Valkyrie the XB-70?

Impressive aircraft, definitely interesting to look at if you are ever near Wright-Patterson AFB.

Too bad it hasn't been there for the last 2 years.   :cry

Your gonna have to settle for fondling the SR-71.  :)

Now that we have the B-29, what is the plane's number?
"Now, if I had to make the choice of one fighter aircraft above all the others...it would be, without any doubt, the world's greatest propeller driven flying machine - the magnificent and immortal Spitfire."
Lt. Col. William R. Dunn
flew Spitfires, Hurricanes, P-51s, P-47s, and F-4s
