Here's some shots which I shot while shooting my competition shot.....
It took about a million years to set up the shot so that's it for tonight :D
If you're interested here's a website I found:

Nice.
Did the Valkyrie really have 6 engines? ??? Somehow I thought it had only 4. Might it be that I'm going senile already?

Great shots. The last XB-70 is a great plane to go and see. The sight of the six huge engines all next to each other is an amazing sight.

All those shots are amazing! But No.2
Maulepilot, the T38 is FSD's freeware model. It was made for FS2002, but works fine in FS2004.

Hi Guys!!!
Growing up in Cincinnati, I spent a lot of time at the USAF museum in Dayton Ohio... I still go every time I get back home...
I have seen the XB-70, which is the only existing Airframe remaining after that F-104 did a flip over the top of the aircraft, ripping off both vertical tail surfaces, the F-104 and the XB-70 both went out of control and crashed.
This is a huge airplane... and an awesome sight to see...

Nice, nice, nice shots Roger. All fantastic. Difficult to elect only one for the contest, I think.
Regards from Spain.

I do see one problem though: if you really did Deflect those ail' like that in flight, you'd go spinning like a top! that T-38 does not mess arouind with roll at speeds above 250kts.

Ah, that amkes sense
It's nice to see someone else flying this plane; It's my all-time favourite FS jet! Great shots, and the deflection does look nice!
