That XB-70 Valkyrie was way ahead of its time, from the wing tip aero work to the engine pod and thrust dynamics. Great, great airplane (from a fanboy's p/o/v anyway).
I believe that one of the last (if not the last) of them was lost when a chase plane essentially landed on the Valkyrie while the Valkyrie was landing. It might've been a 104, in fact.
