North American XB-70 Valkyrie model airplane

Designed to replace the B-52, the USAF ordered 3 prototype Valkyries on October 4, 1961, although the third was never built. The first prototype of the B-70 Valkyrie was flown on September 21, 1964, and first achieved its design speed of Mach 3 on October 14, 1965. Tragically, on June 8 1966, the No 2 Valkyrie was operating a photo sortie for General Electric, when one of the escort planes, an F-104, was caught in the XB-70's turbulent wake and instantly flipped on its back, colliding with the Valkyrie, with both planes crashing to earth. The No. 1 Valkyrie continued to carry out a number of test programs, but on February 4, 1969 it was flown to retirement at the U. S. Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio.
