They have this one at the Wright-Patterson AirForce Museum in Fairborn (Dayton) OH. Free museum and the onsite cafeteria is "Valkyrie Cafe".

Last time I was there, the XB-70 was inside. Might be possible, if difficult, to get a shot next to it.

We've never had that aircraft at our facility before.....I'd love to see it close up.

Got to see it when one of the two (I think the one that crashed) visited Carswell AFB back in 1966 for an airshow when my dad took me (he worked for Convair/Lockheed back then). They had a staircase wheeled up so you could walk up stairs and look inside the cockpit. Looked like a spaceship to me! I still remember how the ground rumbled when it took off.  |

You don't see that everyday.... |

I have always thought it would be awesome to have hundreds of VRCC members with their Valks lined up and photographed with the xb-70 in the background. Nose on, of course, with the Valks in chevrons on both sides.
I would imagine there would be some way to convince Wright Patterson to roll it out for a group shot. A very slim chance, I am sure, but it would be awesome.
A total pipe dream, though.

I remember building several models of the XB-70 as a kid. The Concorde always reminded me of it.  |

I built models of the XB-70 too and still have an unbuilt kit that I'm going to build.
As for Valks with the Valk, it can't hurt to ask.
I got toured hard bags for my Valk earlier and I'm thinking I'd like to get a pic of the XB-70 on them too....
My way of paying homage to both Valkyries, as this is my favorite bike and fav plane....
