Plinker, that is my favorite aircraft ever built. She is amazing to see up close, even 50 years later.
Although they never entered service, JUST THE THOUGHT that the USA could build them, is what made the Soviet Union develop the Mig 25 Foxbat.
I remember some old show about the B-70 that mentioned one the Valkyrie(sp?) project engineers thought the B-70 looked liked "a cobra sitting on top of an orange crate".
A fantastic aircraft.
