The experimental legacy of the iconic XB-70 Valkyrie, which made its first flight on Sept. 21, 1964.

An article published on the U.S. Air Force website commemorates the 60th anniversary of the first flight of the legendary XB-70 Valkyrie, a supersonic bomber that captured the imagination of aviation enthusiasts and engineers alike. Known for its sleek and futuristic design, the XB-70 remains a symbol of the experimental and ambitious spirit of Cold War-era aircraft development. Despite only two prototypes ever being built, the aircraft has left an indelible mark on military aviation history.

The XB-70 Valkyrie was originally conceived in the 1950s as a high-speed, high-altitude bomber for the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command. At a time when technological advancements were rapidly accelerating, the U.S. Air Force sought a bomber capable of flying faster and higher than the B-52 Stratofortress, its workhorse of the era (as well as the backbone of the strategic bomber fleet today and for some more decades in the future…).

With a planned cruise speed of Mach 3 and an operating altitude of 70,000 feet, the XB-70 promised to outpace and outmaneuver Soviet defenses, which were a growing concern during the Cold War.

One of the most remarkable features of the XB-70 was its ability to “ride” its own shockwave, a design innovation that allowed it to maintain stability and performance at supersonic speeds. The Valkyrie’s iconic delta wing, combined with six powerful jet engines, gave it an exotic and striking appearance, making it one of the most visually distinctive aircraft ever built. Its outer wing panels were hinged, allowing them to be lowered during flight to optimize the aerodynamic performance at high speeds.

The article highlights the crucial role played by Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) in the development of the XB-70.

The testing of the Valkyrie’s engines, aerodynamics, and other key components began at Arnold Air Force Base in the late 1950s, well before the first prototype took shape. The AEDC’s facilities were instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what was possible in aviation at the time. One of the earliest tests involved the air-breathing engine nozzles proposed for the XB-70 in March 1958. This was followed by extensive wind tunnel testing of scale models of the Valkyrie, where the aerodynamic characteristics of bombs dropped from the aircraft were also studied.

Beginning in the late 1950s and continuing through the mid-1960s, tests were conducted at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., headquarters of Arnold Engineering Development Complex, in support of the XB-70 program. Only two Valkyries were built, with only one of the pair remaining. The now-retired aircraft made its first flight on Sept. 21, 1964. (U.S. Air Force photo)

Development continued into the early 1960s, with the YJ93 turbojet engines, designed specifically for the XB-70, undergoing rigorous testing at AEDC. These engines were critical to the Valkyrie’s ability to reach and maintain supersonic speeds. However, in 1961, before the first prototype was even completed, the bomber program was canceled due to budget constraints and concerns over the bomber’s vulnerability to Soviet surface-to-air missiles, which had rapidly advanced in capability.

Although the XB-70 bomber program was terminated, the Valkyrie found new life as a research aircraft.

The U.S. Air Force recognized the potential of the aircraft to serve in aerodynamics and propulsion research, particularly in the study of large supersonic aircraft. Consequently, two XB-70 prototypes were completed, and testing continued, including at AEDC, where a scale version of the XB-70 inlet, paired with a full-scale YJ93 engine, was tested in August 1962.

XB-70A number 1 (62-001) made its first flight from Palmdale to Edwards Air Force Base, CA, on Sept. 21, 1964. The second XB-70A (62-207) made its first flight on Jul. 17, 1965. The latter differed from the first prototype for being built with an added 5 degrees of dihedral on the wings as suggested by the NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA, wind-tunnel studies.

While the 62-001 made only one flight above Mach 3, because of poor directional stability experienced past Mach 2.5, the second XB-70, achieved Mach 3 for the first time on Jan. 3, 1966 and successfully completed a total of nine Mach 3 flights by June on the same year.

However, the Valkyrie program suffered a devastating setback in June 1966 when the second prototype was destroyed in a midair collision with an F-104N Starfighter during a photoshoot. This tragic accident resulted in the loss of key personnel and diminished the future prospects of the Valkyrie.

Despite this setback, the remaining XB-70 continued to serve as a valuable research platform. In 1967, the U.S. Air Force transferred the aircraft to NASA, where it was used in support of the National Supersonic Transport (SST) program. NASA employed the XB-70 to investigate supersonic flight operations, but the SST program was eventually canceled in 1971, marking the end of America’s efforts to develop a commercial supersonic airliner.

The XB-70 Valkyrie’s final flight took place on Feb. 4, 1969, when it was flown to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. There, the aircraft was placed on display at what is now the National Museum of the United States Air Force, where it remains a testament to the audacious engineering and design of its era.

Though only two XB-70s were ever built, their legacy endures: the aircraft’s pioneering advancements in aerodynamics, engine performance, and high-speed flight helped shape the future of supersonic aviation.

Pilots who were to perform the first test flights for the XB-70 Valkyrie operate the YJ93 engine, the powerplant of the XB-70, while the engine is tested under simulated flight conditions in May 1964 in the Rocket Test Facility at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., headquarters of Arnold Engineering Development Complex. This was done to help the pilots familiarize themselves with the performance characteristics of the engine prior to the first XB-70 flight, which occurred on Sept. 21, 1964. Beginning in the late 1950s and continuing through the mid-1960s, tests were conducted at Arnold AFB in support of the XB-70 program. Only two Valkyries were built, with only one of the pair remaining. (U.S. Air Force photo)

The first prototype made a total of 83 flights, amassing 160 hours and 16 minutes of flight time, while the second prototype completed 46 flights, totaling 92 hours and 22 minutes.

The XB-70 Valkyrie, with its daring design and groundbreaking capabilities, continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts and engineers. Its story, though short-lived in terms of operational use, highlights the relentless pursuit of innovation that defines the U.S. Air Force and its engineering partners. Sixty years after its first flight, the Valkyrie remains an iconic symbol of the bold ambitions of Cold War-era aviation.

I saw this post about crazy museum stories, and I see lots of retail stories, but I don’t see a lot of airport stories….

So here are some of my craziest stories from working at an airport.

Airport behind the scenes:

• The random passenger who told me to get off the carousel (I was fixing it) then absolutely couldn’t believe I was a female and a mechanic. Then he proceeded to insinuate my military rank before getting out meant I messed up (AF just ranks slower, we had a bit of a bottleneck problem when I was in). He then suggested my supervisor didn’t know how to do his job well and could “just take us all under his wing”. All of this before asking for a job…..

• The passenger who insisted I check him in for his flight that left 2 hrs ago, when I was fixing the ticket counter conveyor belt, all the lights were off and I was literally black up to my elbows in grease….

• The woman who rode up and down the glass elevator in ticketing, lifting her skirt repeatedly, until the sheriffs had to come get her. Bonus points: it was only around noon, and no she wasn’t flying anywhere.

• The woman who got demanded she get on a plane at 11 pm, when flights are no longer going out, with no ID or money, to a city that was literally a 45 min drive away, with no airport. She proceeded to stop pick up traffic with an airport use wheelchair.

• A man who went through an armed door to the ramp, took all of his clothes of and sat there (that one made news).

• A woman who decided to take off all of her clothes and run around the main part of the airport. A sheriff and 2 cleaners had to catch her, she ran through the parking structure at 1am, in January in the northern Midwest.

• The absolutely insane contract manager that almost got sued by Southwest Airlines for wearing disguises and hiding to catch their ticket counter agents putting begs on the belt wrong (they weren’t, also wearing 2 hats and a fake mustache is not inconspicuous sir) that was the talk of the airport for quite a while…

• The gate agent that somehow messed up the jetbridge so bad I had to take every single limit sensor apart so I could override it. When he called it in all I was told was “the wheel locked up and I kept moving it, and I made an ooopsies.”

• The coworker that would insist on wanting to empty the lavs (which is easier than loading bags) but would mess it up at least once every other week and spill on himself, then just look horrified but not move….

• A woman rode an unattended baggage belt, luckily she was read as an oversize bag and sent directly to TSA, she literally could have been killed. She scared the daylights out of some TSA agents though. Could you imagine- you expect a golf club bag or something and get a person popping out?

• The lady who was really scared to fly, got really drunk, and fell down an up escalator. It was Christmas and luckily the gate agents were able to book her on a new flight the next day for free. But when asked if she had someone to pick her up, she called her husband, in Texas… (this is an airport near Chicago) she literally didn’t even know what airport she was at. A sheriff took her to a hotel to let her sleep it off, and to my knowledge she made it out safe the next morning.

I found a cat stuck in a wall, well actually she climbed through the wall and became trapped in a plumbing closet. She is really lucky some Southwest agents heard her crying and called us (they figured since we worked on conveyors and had tons of tools, we might be able to help. We called airport ops to open the closet door, and there she was. I still have her to this day, her name is Delta, and she is a very weird cat, I blame it on the fumes 🤣

All of this and more, and I work at a relatively small airport, and I was only there 5 years, and primarily worked 3rd shift as a mechanic.

We had a nice day today! Plural usage because everyone did, we (me and a co-worker) took a small group of clients to the Delta Flight Museum and then out to eat after. They all said they enjoyed it. I finished a book I really enjoyed, and I've now ordered a copy. And when I finish work I'm going to drop of a little bag of small toys and art supplies to a teacher in the neighborhood who said she needed stuff for her "treasure chest" at school for her students. Then I shall NAP and hopefully watch a movie tonight!

What are your top 5 Fighter Jets?

Ohohohoho you ask a Hyperfixation Question of the Fey??? You ask about a subject they have opinions on and love to talk about??? Very well!!!!

in no particular order I’d say they have to be: (putting this behind a break because pictures)

The Dassault Mirage F1: Not the most iconic Mirage, since I think most people think of the delta-wing designs when they think of the family, but I’ve spent a lot of time in it in DCS and the like, and it’s a wonderful representation of the tail end of the third generation of fighter aircraft- still mostly using non-digital electronics, not fly-by-wire, it’s an aircraft that demands a pilot get to know its intricacies and quirks to make the most of it, and best of all? It’s an absolute joy to fly when you do! Absolutely adore it

The MiG 21: I’m always fascinated by a bird with a long history of real-world use in combat, because they’re the ones you tend to learn the most about vis a vis how they fly, how they were used, and the Fishbed is kinda THE iconic Soviet warbird for that. Again, it’s an aircraft I’ve spent time in in DCS, and while it’s certainly aged, it’s another one of those planes that you get as much out of as you put into it. Feels like strapping yourself onto a bottle rocket and then trying to steer!

The IAI Kfir: For all my talk of historical precedent and great flying characteristics, I’m also kind of a sucker for, y’know, “darn pretty”- and the Kfir is that in spades. Canards, a big ol’ J79 in the back, the classic delta lines of a Mirage V? Absolutely pretty, wonderful design all around.

The F-11F1: This one is the hipster in me showing, but I LOVE the 1950’s/60’s for the rapid advances in aviation technology, and the interesting short-lived trial and error designs that came from it. The Tiger is one such aircraft, a fine flier in its own right, it was already becoming obsolete by the time it was introduced, so despite being a lovely bird, it only served for a few years. A fascinating example of how much changed in such a few short decades

And finally- The F-86 Sabre: I tend to love aircraft that I have some experience with- in a simulator, at local museums, aircraft that have a fascinating history or a striking design- and can any aircraft lay quite as much of a claim to history and design as the Sabre? This is the plane that defined the Korean War, the plane that set the precedent for aircraft design for years after it, a nimble dogfighter, a high-performance machine, top of the line for its day and another that I’ve spent a lot of time with in simulators. There’s nothing I’ve ever flown that has the same… pure, unadulterated joy of flight baked into it, that handles so perfectly, so joyously- the Sabre is the standard by which I judge any other aircraft’s agility, and there are few which stir the same wonder in my heart

Cheap Flights from New York to Orlando

New York to Orlando

Orlando is a well-liked travel destination since it is the birthplace of Mickey Mouse and Disney World. The Orlando region offers an almost limitless supply of entertainment, making it the world's top family vacation spot. But even the most merry parent might need a vacation after a few exhausting days at Universal Studios, Disney World, and SeaWorld. So go out for a night on the town while leaving the kids in the care of the hotel babysitter. Downtown Disney is an adult-oriented nightlife area with restaurants, bars, and a House of Blues in a theme park setting—not a genuine town, mind you.

All three of New York's airports receive about the same amount of demand for flights to Orlando, with Newark slightly outpacing LaGuardia. JetBlue offers quite excellent non-stop service from all three main New York airports to Orlando.

On occasion, direct flights from LaGuardia to Orlando might be obtained at a lower price. It's easy to adjust to the nonstop enjoyment in Orlando, Florida, if you've grown acclimated to the quick pace of New York City living.

Orlando is filled with fantastic locations like SeaWorld, Universal, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay, all of which provide the greatest pleasure you could possibly desire, in somewhat different ways, except for Disney, which had to get its own mention (hint: you should probably visit all of them, just to find out which is your favorite).

Whether you choose to experience them all or simply show up for one, Orlando will provide a little taste of excitement for everyone, including roller coasters, thrill excursions, fascinating underwater worlds, and lots of parades. This is undoubtedly among the most well-liked justifications for travelling to Orlando.

Lockheed XF-90A 46-0687 by Wing attack Plan R Via Flickr: The Lockheed XF-90 was built in response to a United States Air Force requirement for a long-range penetration fighter and bomber escort. The same requirement produced the McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo. Lockheed received a contract for two prototype XP-90s (redesignated XF-90 in 1948). The design was developed by Willis Hawkins and the Skunk Works team under Kelly Johnson. Two prototypes were built (s/n 46-687 and -688). Developmental and political difficulties delayed the first flight until 3 June 1949, with Chief Test Pilot Tony LeVier at the controls. Performance of the design was considered inadequate due to being underpowered, and the XF-90 never entered production. Design and development: In response to a 1945 Army request for an advanced jet fighter, Lockheed proposed a jet powered initially by a Lockheed L-1000 axial flow turbojet, and then the General Electric J35. Further design refinements included using two Westinghouse J34 engines with afterburners. After data showed that a delta planform would not be suitable, the Lockheed Model 90 was built in 1947 as a mock-up. The final design embodied much of the experience and shared the intake and low-wing layout of the previous P-80 Shooting Star, but with 35° sweptback wings, a sharply-pointed nose, and two Westinghouse J34-WE-11 axial-flow turbojet engines, providing a total thrust of 6,200 lbf (27.6 kN), mounted side-by-side in the rear fuselage and fed by side-mounted air intakes. The wings had leading edge slats, Fowler flaps, and ailerons on the trailing edge. The pressurized cockpit was fitted with an ejection seat and a bubble canopy. Proposed armament was six 20 mm (.79 in) cannons. The internal fuel was supplemented by wingtip-mounted tanks, bringing total fuel capacity to 1,665 gal (6,308 l). The use of 75ST aluminum rather than the then-standard 24ST aluminum alloy, along with heavy forgings and machined parts, resulted in an extremely well-constructed and sturdy airframe. However, these innovations also resulted in an aircraft with an empty weight more than 50 percent heavier than its competitors. The first XF-90 used non-afterburning J34s, but these lacked the thrust for takeoff as rocket-assisted RATO were required for most of the first flights unless it carried a very low fuel load. The second (XF-90A) had afterburners installed which had been tested on an F-80 testbed. Even so, the aircraft remained underpowered. Testing and evaluation: The XF-90 was the first USAF jet with an afterburner and the first Lockheed jet to fly supersonic, albeit in a dive. It also incorporated an unusual vertical stabilizer that could be moved fore and aft for horizontal stabilizer adjustment. Partly because Lockheed's design proved underpowered, it placed second to McDonnell's XF-88 Voodoo which won the production contract in September 1950, before the penetration fighter project was abandoned altogether. Upon Lockheed losing the production contract, the two prototypes were retired to other testing roles. The first aircraft (46-687) was shipped to the NACA Laboratory in Cleveland, Ohio in 1953 for structural tests. It was no longer flyable, and its extremely strong airframe was tested to destruction. The other (46-688) survived three atomic blasts at Frenchman Flat within the Nevada Test Site in 1952. Notable appearances in media: The XF-90 lived on as the aircraft flown through the 1950s by the popular Blackhawks Squadron in the comic book series of the same name, first published by Quality Comics and later by DC Comics. The Blackhawks flew fictional "B" and "C" models, single engine production variants of the twin-engine XF-90. Aircraft disposition: 46-0687 – tested to destruction at NACA lab in Cleveland, Ohio. 46-0688 – in storage and awaiting restoration at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. In 2003, the heavily damaged hulk was recovered from the Nevada test site and moved there. It is currently undergoing minor restoration in one of the Museum's restoration facility hangars. Its wings have been removed, and its nose is mangled from the nuclear blasts. During the decontamination process, all the rivets had to be removed to remove radioactive sand. At present, the museum plans to display the XF-90 in its damaged, mostly unrestored condition, to demonstrate the effects of nuclear weaponry. (wiki)

Flights From Port Land To Aurora

About

An aurora (plural: auroras, aurorae), also known as the Polar lights, is a natural light display found in the Earth's skies. It is most commonly seen in high-latitude areas (around the Arctic or Antarctic). The auroras are dynamic patterns of bright lights that cover the sky in a variety of ways, including rays and spirals, curtains, flickers, or rays.

The solar winds cause disturbances in the magnetic field. Major disturbances are caused by enhancements in speed of the sun's energy from coronal hole and solar mass ejections. These disturbances affect the trajectory of charged particles within the magnetospheric Plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting Ionization, and excitation of atmospheric constituents produce light of different colour and complexity. The acceleration of precipitating particles also affects the form of aurora. It can be found in bands around both the polar regions.

The auroras can be found on most of the planets in our Solar System.
