hi there bones..
it was first flown in the late 60s and mainly for research purposes.. and to find out more about flight characteristics within the atmosphere from high altitude supersonic speeds to landing.
a lot of the research they gleaned from this craft had a major impact on modern day things like the shuttle ect..
if you haven't dl it you should it's great fun..

[Mr. Bones]

i'll try it out! can i find it here?

i really love all that history written at Edwards AFB. all the X planes, damn good pilots, amazing region, lots of new technologies in that time...just awesome. i wish i was there during that time.  ;)
