The Starfighter inadvertently drifted into the right wing of the XB-70 due to vortices produced by the wing and exploded in the air, while the Valkyrie crashed into the desert. Walker, who'd become the second person to fly a winged aircraft into space in 1963, is considered to be one of the greatest pilots to ever live. He was killed along with Valkyrie co-pilot Carl Cross. Valkyrie pilot Al White ejected and survived, but suffered grave injuries |

Never seen this angle before. Always tried to discern from video what may have happened to us had we been there. |
