I love it!
Great craft. Reminds me of the time I spent on my Xplane 9 HDEP on my iPhone. Glad i still had a backup as this is a great build to remind me.
Very nice!
This is the single best XB-70 valkyre I've seen, EVER
One of my favorite aircraft. Few can rival the number of innovations in a single aircraft necessary to make it a reality. Too bad only 2 were built and one of those met such a tragic end.
@XVIindustries The B-70 would have kicked the snot out of the Vulcan.
Whoa this one's much better than my version :D
This is basicly the American Vulcan ;) therefore I love it too, shame one crashed tho :(
@scriefers, inspired by your build. Was looking through some of your older planes and thought this deserved some of the new parts
@General360 ya you have some awesome stuff!
Nice work here
Still, a great build!
Love this plane. Didn't know it was real till a googled it though. I thought it was just a prototype that never got off the drawing board. Really cool plane still @maverickvii
