The XB-70 looks right at home with the sun, sky and clouds behind her. Such a beautiful aircraft and marvel of engineering. I visited the museum and was completely in awe. This is one aircraft I've wanted to see all my life, I was amazed. It is staggering to see the size of the XB-70 in person. Glad she is at the museum and preserved for all to see.

I'm old enough to know for sure that one of those sonic booms I heard as a kid was that beautiful girl headed to Dayton on her last flight. I like to think, anyway, that she flew over my school to say goodbye...I was 6 yr, 5 mo, and 3 days old that Monday, and well aware of her presence in the world from a kids' propaganda book that I checked out of the rolling library that visited our tiny rural village every couple weeks. Lots of loud b-BANGs in those days...you'd hear them and look up into a perfect, CAVU sky...nothing, not even a barn swallow! Another flavor of those years was when flights of ANG B-52s would practice knap-of-the-earth approaches to the RADAR Base about 15 miles to the northeast of my home. Imagine three good-sized airliners about 200 ft AGL, each with EIGHT not-so-quiet turbojets, and wasting no time!! They used a ridge about 1 1/2 miles north of the house as RADAR cover. You could see them deftly rise over it, then sink out of sight on the other side!! If you ran outside to the field across the road when the first plane passed over, you were likely to catch the second flight with nothing but air between you and them...that'll make a farm kid's whole month! The third flavor of those days just before 1968 was the daily air service, Green Bay to Minneapolis, from Wisconsin Central Airline. Douglas DC-3s on straight-in approach to runway 29, Wausau Municipal Airport, 25 miles west-northwest. Yup! Six years old...passenger service by 1930s aircraft, B-52 crews practicing to blow up North Vietnam, and a Mach 3 heavy bomber designed to blow up Russia instead doing research for the American SST that never happened. Add to that college riots, four dead in Ohio, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy killed. 1968 was definitely 'a year'. '68 ended, though, with three guys in Apollo 8 doing a planned reading from Genisis...after having seen the 'Good Earth' from Lunar orbit and being WAY more affected than they had dreamed. The color photo, Earthrise, shot by Bill Anders that day is, sadly, as needed now in America as it was 56 years ago. Generational forgetfulness is why we don't seem to have nice things that last.

​@@amd1857Ah yes, the Caproni Ca. 60 Transaero, the Noviplano. I was just a young lad when this building with nine wings flew over our house March 4, 1921. The sound of all 8 engines was spellbinding. "There will never be anything bigger, faster or higher flying," my dad said as all 100 passengers waved to us. Curse the SR-71 for taking away this plane's bragging rights. Loved your comment. I am retired USAF and did flight training. Never got to fly anything like the Habu, but did get to fly the simulator at Beale AFB in California and saw many of them at Kadena AB in Okinawa. A friend took me into the hangar to see the one (Ichiban) that crashed into the South China Sea in 1989. What is crazy is there were four titanium bolts holding the cockpit to the rest of the fuselage. When they found the fuselage, they didn't see the cockpit. The four bolts had broken exactly as designed to do, and it was resting under the fuselage in more than 25,000 feet of water. The concern was the Soviets would recover it. Some fishermen picked up the crew. What was neat was getting an up-close look at it and seeing just how densely packed everything was. A remarkable feat.

My most cherished place on the planet, and I've been around. I grew up just down the street from the museum. Visited more times than I can count. I was blessed enough to be around to visit the old location before their move into the current location. I think the XB-70 is the total epitome of what the museum is all about. I hope to be able to return for one last week, before I leave. When I was young, it was all about the aircraft. As I grew, it became more about the men and women who gave us this heritage. Bless the restoration, maintenance and upkeep people for all their work! Same for the volunteers.

I worked in Aviation for 20 yrs and retired from it . One thing that was very important to safety was to keep your airplane clean . Should anything with fluids leak then they would show up much quicker and especially on a pre-flight . Seen it happen a few times and when i cleaned them also. Cleaning the XB - 70 had to be a honor .I would have cleaned that work of art with a soft bristle tooth brush . I have been to the Air Force Museum and have seen the XB - 70. Good gosh is it big . If you go to the Museum then plan at least 2 days.They gave a lot of " OH WOW airplanes and more than a few " ” " GOOD GOLLY LOOK AT THATs" too But you really should go.I sure am going to try .

Very cool. Neil was a cool dude.....in an aviation nerd sort of way. I beleive that same episode he flew left seat in an Air Force B1 Bomber. I'm pretty sure the Air Force doesn't let a lot of civilians fly their planes. But then, Neil Armstrong was no ordinary citizen.

But imagine if the National Museum of the United States Air Force could do the kinds of things the Conservation Air Force and Red Bull Aviation, among others, do; keeping large portions of their collections in flight-worthy condition and bringing them out now and again to show off. Take a couple circuits around the pattern or even just a start and run-up or fast taxi show. I'd pay money to see that.

I was around 12 or so growing up in South Africa when i came across an amazing magazine all about experimental planes or those that never went into production. XB-70 was in it. Loved reading all about it and immediately became my favorite plane that ever flew and to this day remains so. Emigrated to the USA in 82 and while doing my residency in Cleveland was fortunate enough to get to go to Dayton during the residency for part of it. Well obviously i had to go see my favorite plane which I did. It was parked outside in those days. All i can say is my gosh. Far more impressive in person than the magazine photos.

Soviet Union spent vast sums in money/time/effort building an air defense optimized for high speed/high altitude interception to counter a fleet of attacking B-70's. They (the USSR) were unprepared when the real threat emerged as the ground hugging B1 Lancer. XB-70 helped bankrupt the USSR.

@@winternow2242 That the well-publicized XB-70 program caused the Soviets to rework their air defense is part of the established narrative of the history of the XB-70. Is the narrative true? I don't really know. Perhaps you are prepared to refute all or part of that narrative. If so, please enlighten us.
