"… one of several examples of US aerospace 'over-reach' in the early 1960's the Mach 3 bomber program produced amazing technological breakthroughs on an aircraft that would be one of the largest and most expensive ever conceived"

Yes, but does it have any very expensive machines that go 'ping'?

It would seem that the whole ship was a very expensive machine that went "prang"!

I watched it make it's final pass and land at Wright-Pat, destined for the Museum. (Which was in Area "C" at the time.) The museum moved in 1971, while I was in Basic, to it's current location in Area "B".

It was a very impressive sight!

The Valk is a very large bird. Looks like it's doing Mach 2 when parked!

I'd love to take that plane and update it with modern technology and see what we could do with her….

Mach 5+ bomber anyone?
