I always thought the Mach 3 XB-70 Valkyrie was impressive, even if it never did get into production

A neighbor of ours was one of the test pilots (Col. Joe Cotton).

Now, that is a truly gorgeous airplane. Described seeing one fly overhead in 1966-67. Way supersonic over northern Nevada.
One time I saw a SR-71 in flight, it looked like a spaceship, all dull black and angular. Ominous, not graceful.
