The only stuff she'll bid on is something to do with my project.

For school. A late WW2 diorama type thingy... it will have a airfield, rail depot, and 1 or 2 of panzer companies, all about 1/144 scale. I have used old recon photos for the runway length and a few other things.

everybody seems to think so! that,s how my mom described it on our first visit to the USAF Museum back when i was 10.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see why everyone would think that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it does make quite an impression! and at one time was a serious contender for a commercial version as well.

So they were planning on making the Valkerine as an airliner? Never heard of that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just a proposal for the U.S. supersonic transport program,long forgotten by most. one model kit mfgr did issue a B-70 kit with airline decals,Lindberg,back in the 1960s,3 kits actually,a USAF prototype,a 2-fin with Continental Golden Jet and a single fin version with TWA Twin Globes livery,very rare collector,s items nowadays.

I knew that the Valkerine was built mainly as a testbed for the American SST project (I'm pretty sure about this), but I didn't know that they planned to use it as an airliner
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it was North American,s entry/contender in the design competition,along with the Lockheed L-2000,Boeing 2707,and the McDonnell-Douglas SuperJet. all cancelled.

I hope we will see a new SST in the future but I doubt it though

Never say Never.............!
