XB-70 Valkyrie
- VHS Video
America's first Mach-3 bomber. Rare vintage scenes
of rollout in 1964, first flight, in-flight scenes
showing vapor trails from flying in its own shock
wave. Watch in awe as this unique mammoth object cycles
its wingtips, opens its afterburners. Very historic.

Great Planes Vol. 5:
XB-70 Valkyrie - VHS Video
From rollout and delivery of XB-70A-1, to placement
in its final home at the U.S. Air Force Museum, this
video presents the monstrous but beautiful XB-70.
Ride along in the chase plane and see the problems
with the first flights and the tragic mid-air collision
of XB-70-A2. But there is success, too, as a half-million
pound aircraft exceeds three times the speed of sound!
It's a fabulous look at a remarkable feat of engineering.
Color and B&W, approx. 60 min. |
