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:

Thanks for looking!

Nice. :)

Did the Valkyrie really have 6 engines?  ???  Somehow I thought it had only 4. Might it be that I'm going senile already? :P ;D
There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

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 :o
Maulepilot, the T38 is FSD's freeware model. It was made for FS2002, but works fine in FS2004.http://www.simviation.com/fs2004military17.htm

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.

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.
That's 20,000 points!

I'll get 'em...

All I got to do now is find a one-legged nun walking a goat and I win.

Ah, that amkes sense :P


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!
