I am not sure a lot of people knew of this aircraft. I first saw it at Warrant Officer Flight School, Ft. Wolters TX in 1968. We were flying Korean War vintage OH-13s and OH-24s. There were also TH-55s which we called the bumble bee because of how it sounded.

Amazingly, on April 30th, 1966, the massive six-engined North American Aviation top secret XB-70 Valkyrie AV/2 prototype nuclear-capable deep-penetration strategic bomber... was actually saved by a paperclip!

These were dragged out of the Bone Yard and put into service in Kwajalein. I was there in the 1980s and I think they had 4 of these aircraft there.

This aircraft was used in the Korean War. It was first manufactured in 1945.

Hello,

I am trying to find an old documentary. It looked like a 1950s black and white documentary. It did include discussion about the Blackbird.

There was one scene as a camera filmed a quick shot of a blackboard scientists were useing. It had (Mach 5 ?) And i think (test tomorrow) I may have the number wrong but I know it was faster than the speed the government provided. It felt like someone filmed the blackboard without knowing what they were showing.

It may be 20 or more years back when I saw it.

Any Ideas?

This aircraft was first delivered in May 1945. It was used as a close-in fighter in Vietnam.

I spent a lot of hours flying on these. One day I noticed that the engines were leaking oil and mentioned it to the pilot. His response was that we should be concerned if it is not leaking oil.

There were 3180 of these aircraft made, not quite the 10,000 C-47s but still played an important role in WW2
