Very cool that you got to work on that. It was a tragedy one of them was
lost in that accident. At least one still survives at WP. I will have to
get out there to see that one day. Definitely an impressive plane, ahead
of it¹s time really.

Anyone who is interested in planes should definitely read up on the XB-70
Valkyrie. 

Those were different times, no doubt.
