That famous XB-70 crash was at Edwards AFB. An F-104 chase plane got too close to the Valkyrie, and got into the wingtip vortice at altitude. It rolled the 104 up onto the top of the wing, and across the rear fuselage, cleaning off the verticle stab. It actually flew for a few minutes before rolling over and going in. The 104 crashed as well. The entire event was captured on film.
