Mitch;

Does this photograph originate from the flight in which the mid-air
between the XB-70 and the F-104 took place? I don't remember the same
accompanying aircraft in any other flights.

It does appear in this photo that the F-104 is quite close to the
bomber. As I recall, the Starfighter was caught in a vortex flow and
rolled across the top of the wing, taking out the vertical stabs.

If this is from that flight it's the first color photo I've seen prior
to the incident, and its great resolution. Thanks for this post,
there's some in here that I've never seen!

I'm working on a flying wing RC model in which the wing tips will be
foldable.

Got any B-58s??

Yes.

See also #27 in the series. It is also in color.

Also being an RC enthusiast, I really hope a few picture will be
forthcoming. Also when you post the video, give us the link.
