“MIDAIR! MIDAIR!” Air Force T-38 pilot, Capt. Pete Hoag shouts over the radio.
“You got the verticals! This is Cotton, you got the verticals!—came off left and right! We’re staying with ya, no sweat, now you’re holding good, Al!” crackled in the T-38 back seater Col. Joe Cotton.
The two test pilots were in the cockpit of a T-38 trainer flying off the left wing of the new XB-70 Valkyrie bomber, aircraft number 62-0207. They just saw the civilian registered NASA F-104N Starfighter of pilot Joe Walker slide upside down across the top of the huge white bomber, shear off both it’s twin tails and skid sideways, then break in two, killing Walker instantly. Behind the XB-70 Walker’s F-104N tumbled end over end, a pinwheel of bright orange flame nearly six hundred feet long tracing its convulsive death spiral.

Watching this. I've seen it once before. I am mlm planning on doing it with the B-58 escorting it

I still have this option, it depends on how good the Talon will be, the PM-Model kit is up to modern standards and the Sword kit is not available (and the Hasegawa one is an F-5B in reality). If not possible i will switch to the scene with the Hustler.... or i'll do a what if and include the Hustler in the scenery, too, as it would fly on the same day but couldn't due to an engine failure. Maybe that would change the fate and save all the planes, who knows 🙂

What an event. As the article says, an era when aviation was evolving and there was a lot to learn. The T38 is still with up in some forms, great design persists!

I found the Sword T-38A. I've recently bought a Learjet 35 to convert to LJ24A which carried the photographers and cameramen. It is on the way from HK.
