LA COLISION DEL VALKYRIE….8/06/1966
The one surviving XB-70 is currently on display at the USAF museum in Dayton, OH. This was a very preventable accident, which resulted from unexpected affects from flying too close. The accident occurred during a photo shoot PR event.
F-104 pilot Joseph Walker (former World War II veteran and X-15 test pilot), and XB-70 co-pilot Carl Cross were killed in the resulting accident. XB-70 pilot Alvin White suffered injury but survived.
Although never flown in any operational missions, and was pretty much outdated before testing was completed, the XB-70 is an impressive sight. I can only imagine how those six engines much rumble when in full afterburner.

Have you read "One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission That Flew Us to the Moon"? It talks extensively about the guidance computer.

I would love to know what "verb" and "noun" have to do with entering guidance data!
That's NOT the computer. That's in input interface. The computer is a whole lot bigger than that.

That is the LTV XC-142A. I actually have some info on that as my uncle worked at LTV during the time that they were designing and buidling it.

1000% NOT REAL. Alaska doesn't have any 747's. Looks like it's from a game due to the graphics.
