Which one was the widow-maker? I remember getting a copy of Jane’s Aircraft of the world in 1963 which showed the Valkyrie and the SR-71. I remember thinking how cool they were. Amazing how far ahead of the times those planes were. I grew up believing that we would be flying to London in 2 hours and make it to CA in just under two. Guess it is still ahead of its times.
The F-102 was the widow maker. A very dangerous aircraft.
When that traitor John Kerry disparaged Bush’s service, the truth was George Bush was much more in harm’s way than Kerry.
Bush flew for six years. Kerry was out of the combat zone in 4.5 months. Five medals, and not a day in sick bay recuperating. Did you know he served in Vietnam?
Head out to Dayton Ohio and Wright-Patterson AFB US Air Force Museum and actually touch both. The other (only two built) Valkyrie and a (still leaking fuel), SR-71. Not to mention a Raptor.
Awesome trip...don’t go in May. Those crazy Ham radio operators take over the town.
