Yes...I am an aviation buff, and that accident is in aviation lore, for sure. Tragic.

But man...what a boss looking plane!

You might like this link, I stumbled across it this morning:

XB-70 Virtual Cockpit

There are enough knobs, buttons, dials, and levers to keep even the most anal aviation geek occupied!

i am an airplane junkie, too.

the addiction started innocently enough about 50 years ago with ww2 warbirds, progressed to jets over the years...thuds, phantoms, eagles, etc, but I still go back home to the butcher bird from bremen most frequently. :)

I will check out the link. thanks for the share.
