Did it have a military escort?

I thought I saw two fighters.

Those looked like T-37s to me. They used to be used as side-by-side trainers in the USAF. From the 50s until this decade. Boeing was probably using them as chase planes.

This is a great day in American aviation history. Hopefully we can sell the crap out of these things.

Three “escorts”: two T-33s, one off each wing and a T-38 out ahead scouting. All equipped with cameras - film at 11:00!
