Hi Ron
> XB70 weighed nowhere near million pounds: I picked that up from the third paragraph of this page: http://www.vectorsite.net/avxb70.html but on recheck - that detail was apparently from an original proposal, which was scaled back in the actual prototype. Hey, the Valkyrie was a little before your time in the B-52 cockpit, I suppose, but did you ever hear anything about zip fuel back then? Jones
