They have moved the plane to another portion of the base which is in a controlled area. That is where they put the experimental aircraft. You have to get there very early to get reservations to go there. It really bugged me because I wanted my daughter and son-in-law to see the Tacit Blue and we were unable to see it.

Agreed. In this case size doesn't always matter.

What makes the tweet seem loud is the pitch. The high screech is painful, but the low rumble of the F-111F or an SR-71 is also deafening.

Kinda like a 5.56X45mm. The high frequencies just kill the ears compared to 7.62X39mm.

here are a couple of B-70/Al White shots that I finally got around to copying.

The first was early and the second was just before the crash - I think that is Col Cotton next to White.

Nice pics!

If I had those, I'd have them up on my wall in a place of honor.

I have seen a picture of an XB-70 Valkyrie fighter concept but still not sure how it would have worked in practice, considering that most of the planes it was up against it could have just hit with the shockwave...
