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.

There is actually one left at the United States Air Force Museum by Dayton Ohio. If you are ever in that area I would highly recommend stopping in and looking at the great collection of planes they have there. This plane was definitely coolest of the bunch IMO.
