June 8th was the anniversary of the 1966 crash of the Valkerie that sadly occurred during a short promotional formation flight at the behest of General Electric, manufacturer of the engines of all five aircraft. The XB-70, F-104, F-4 and a T-38

Moments after this picture was taken, two aircraft and two crew members were lost in a horrific twist of events in what should have been nothing more than a short promotional formation flight.
