My very first day in the USA and I saw this! The surviving XB-70 Valkyrie used to be displayed outside at the Air Force Museum and from this angle her nickname 'Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent' (after a 60's cartoon character) made sense.
Taken inside the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson, Ohio, in late 1999, this B-58A Hustler was nicknamed 'Cowtown Hustler' and won both the Bendix and Bleriot trophies during her relatively short service career.
