XB-70 Valkyrie: Great Fighting Jets (1988)

[@johnnyzippo7109]

Funny thing , and no doubt about it , these late 80’s early 90’s Combat Aviation documentaries represent the golden age of aviation and even documentaries in general , as , documentaries over the decades have only gotten worse , and worse to the point of being straight up hatchet jobs . Again , can’t express how much I enjoy these documentaries .

[@johnnyzippo7109]

Mike G! Love the Documentaries ! I grew up watching these , they are like meditation for me , thank you for the hard work , keep it up , very much appreciated .

Likewise, these bring me back to being a kid, early 90's Discovery, A&E, TLC. Before it was all junk.

My dad was a weights and balancing engineer on prototype #2 it was the first plane he worked on after he worked on the Boeing 707 and 727 straight from high-school. What a plane. The greatest bomber of all time for the raw power

My dad GREATLY contributed to this aircraft and every USAF/NATO aircraft development since 1950's. So my dad clearly outshines yours. He was the ejection seat test dummy.

@dkoz8321 we'll test dummy is better than my dad's future after the XB-70, he worked on the DC-8-62 then he worked on the F-5E. After that he married my mom went back home in Washington state and became a C.P.A.. he spent the rest of his life doing others taxes 80 to 100 hrs.a week during tax season. I'd rather gotten to fly ,even if I had to get ejected every time.

Oooh you are the absolute best. Thank you.

Nice documentary indeed. The sound at 5:36 is strange anyway. B-29 had radial engines and that sounds as turboprops.

[@borntoclimb7116]

This is a interesting classic documentary.

[@nicholashall6850]

Love this plane

[@chonqmonk]

*Sweet Plane!*

[@MitzvosGolem1]

I think USSR Swan copied this design. Amazing aircraft. Thank you for excellent videos.

[@winternow2242]

Huh? You mean the Tu-160? That plane neither looks nor flies like the XB-70A.

[@hinglemccringle5939]

Coolest plane ever

[@buckwheat6722]

Why is a Vid on XB-70 starting out talking about the B-1????????????? Waste of 3 mins on B-1!

[@winternow2242]

Probably because the B-1 directly rose out of the cancelation of the B-70.
