XB-70 Valkyrie Tribute

Designed in the 1950s, two protypes of the Valkyrie were built by North American Aircraft and flew test flights in the 60s. The Valkyrie was a bomber with speeds of up to Mach 3 and was used for testing compression lift. Eventually, its plans developed into those of the A-12 long range spy/reconaissance plane, better known as the SR-71 Blackbird.
