So, this "artwork" showed up in my email this evening, and after a few :drinkers: thought it would be fun to post.

Want to see an XB-70 in airline livery? Next time you're in your local thrift store, look for the Reader's Digest Condensed Books Vol. 3 from 1962 - the condensation of the novel Star-Raker has an illustration of a supersonic airliner that was obviously copied from the Valkyrie.

Another way to see an airliner B-70...look online. Lindbergh model company did a version of their B-70 plastic kit with a single vertical tail and TWA markings.

The idea of a B-70 as a drone just makes me queasy to think of it.
