Yes, new 430 with 750 miles on it torched near Santa Barbara this week. Was part of a fleet of one of those "Driving Experience" companies. Oil line sprayed oil on the engine, starting the fire. Burned to the ground in a couple of minutes. No one hurt, thankfully.

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.
