Goes without saying.

Go and find the episode called “Home.”

If you’re still interested after that, watch the rest of the series.

I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB. After a while, the novelty fades.

While I respect your opinion and agree that the XB-70 is a damned fine looking airplane, I must stand behind my original statement. Of course, the same group of North Anerican/Rockwell engineers probably designed both airplanes...
