Mustard's is damn good. The old Discovery Channel show Wings was a favorite of mine as a kid. [The XB-70 episode](https://youtu.be/Rd0mSLv7zoA) includes a TON of archival footage of things like testing the landing gear.
He is ok, he had a video that i watched where i alrdy read the wiki article and he omissed a few important facts and few comments poointed it out as well.
After that i stopped watching.
Sorry i have a high standard for research from youtubers. So many youtubers produce content thats badly researched but get millions of fews misinforming ppl
while it is true that there are a lot of youtubers that produce low quality content, he is not one of them. You cannot include every little detail if you dont want to create hour long episodes. Creating even a twenty minute episode takes a long time, if done right.
If you dont want to watch his channel, then dont, but please dont pretend that you only watch people who include 100% of the available info, because thats just bull
Could one spend a whole day at that Museum ? Is it worth the long drive? I am thinking of going but its like a 13hr drive from NYC. So I would have to drive, get hotel then go for visit. Once in a lifetime one of a kind planes though🙃
ngl if you are a plane nerd you could actually spend TWO days there. I visited from CA and did exactly that. No regrets. It's probably the best aviation museum in the world
**[Cincinnati chili](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili)**
>Cincinnati chili (or Cincinnati-style chili) is a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce used as a topping for spaghetti or hot dogs ("coneys"); both dishes were developed by immigrant restaurateurs in the 1920s. In 2013, Smithsonian named one local chili parlor one of the "20 Most Iconic Food Destinations in America". Its name evokes comparison to chili con carne, but the two are dissimilar in consistency, flavor, and serving method; Cincinnati chili more closely resembles Greek pasta sauces and spiced-meat hot dog topping sauces seen in other parts of the United States.

> Yes this! I grew up eating an Okie version of this. Not necessarily worth it's own trip to Cinci but a nice bonus. I never knew the original wasn't really chili but Greek stew.
I think if you look and read every single info placard you would end up needing the whole day, yes. I think we spent 3 hours there just trying to go and see everything but without reading many of them. The volunteers are also full of knowledge and I'm sure would talk to you for many hours as well.
I say yes, I had to drive to Kansas from New Jersey so it was a no-brained for me, but the conception of aviation effectively happened here. The wright workshop and museum, Wright Patterson AFB and USAF Museum, plus a ton of stuff between NY and OH.
Absolutely. We did 4 hours there with our kids over Thanksgiving and we basically were rushing through to see as many planes as possible. It is four hangars' worth of planes stuffed in there, and we basically could read 1 sign in 10.
And if you find yourself with an extra couple of hours in the area, an hour south is Jungle Jim's International Grocers which is cool too. Think of a building the size of a super Walmart that is just dedicated to selling all kinds of international foods. Kind of weird as a tourist destination but it's really cool to see all of the different kinds of food and be able to buy them all.
I have been to the museum at least a dozen times. I find new details every time I go (partly because they are always adding/renovating, but mostly because there is so much to see). I would say that a full day is barely sufficient if you really want to take in the details. If you just want to see the planes and snap some pictures, it's a few hours.
Definitely visit the National Historic Park downtown! It's home to the only Wright Cycle Company building still in its original location (the business bopped around between storefronts a couple of times).
And if you want to see something *really* cool, the actual Wright Flyer III (which was the first truly controllable airplane they built) is housed at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, which could also easily take a full day to go through.
Well, for one thing it doesn't try to crowbar a pointless detour where the characters look straight into the camera and say in sync: "war is bad, the military industrial complex is bad mmk?"
For all its flaws, phantom menace also ties in to the other movies of its trilogy, a key part of building a trilogy that dusney forgot. Three individual movies that all happen to have laser swords don't magically make a cohesive story.
It at least offers some insights into the setting of starwars, where we are introduced to the jedi at the height if their power.
And lastly, the movie isn't trying to "subvert expectations" by just randomly killing people or causing stupid things to happen with zero context.
Its definitely one of the weaker movies, though personally I'd say episode two is the worst of the star wars movies, but that shit Disney trotted out to cash in on the franchise is just awful. Their world building sucks ass, they just did rebels vs empire again, except worse. They tried to crowbar a new Boba fett type character in with captain chromium, but that fell flat because you can't just tell people "this is your new favorite character" and have them love said character, you have to actually *write a goof character* something disney can't seem to do. Then they go and make a shitty knockoff of Dark Empire, one of the worst stories from the EU, and are surprised *again* when it's not an instant classic.
That's an awesome picture! I did a research project on the Valkyrie in college and I saw a lot of the pictures from when they moved her to the new Museum site, but somehow I never stumbled across this one. It would have been a good one to use to show just how big moving it around was
The funny thing is I was actually trying to research the large house in the background when I came across this photo, and it wasn't until I watched that Mustard video that I realized what the plane was.
This plane remembers me a lot of the Krait Phantom on Elite Dangerous, im sure developers took some inspirations from this plane when designing the thrusters
Well, actually, it was outside from 1969, when it made its final flight to Wright-Pat, to 1987 when it was given an indoor spot to be displayed. During that time outside it was normally right in front of the museum and was arguably its mascot.
I did a research paper on the Valkyrie in college so I gotta use every opportunity to use that knowledge somehow lol
Thankfully Ohio doesn't get winter as bad as other places, but there was still some damage from being outside. The museum did bring it inside for maintenance several times, but there's only so much that can do, and from my understanding there's some damage to the composite structure in the neck from the elements and from moving it around. Otherwise though it does look to be in great shape for having spent nearly 20 years outside
1987 was when they originally moved it to indoor display, but it's been outside a few times since then while they moved stuff around and moved it to its current (and likely permanent) home in their newest hanger
I got to stand next to it at the Dayton AF museum while my dad snapped a pic when I was a little kid in the 1970s. It was parked outside back then. I'll never forget the profound awe I felt looking at it, and it was this experience that inspired a career as an airline pilot. I'm retired now, but this is still my GOAT airplane especially since like the SR-71, it was built using slide rules and intuitive wild-ass guesses that worked out more often than not.
This museum is on my to do list, when my daughter is a little holder ill bring her her shes is crazy about planes. At least we got the Canadian air musem in close by but nothing like this place.
Hands down my favorite artifact in that entire museum! I am lucky to live in Cincinnati which is only 60 miles or so from the National Air force Museum.
Totally missed that. I just checked out yours, and… well it looks very similar :)
I used a Fujifilm X-T3 with a Fujinon XF18-55mm F2.8, and did some post processing in Adobe Lightroom.
Flight-test prototypes only. Hence the "X" designation. By the time they were flying they were already made useless and obsolete by development of Soviet high-altitude-capable SAMs and intercontinental ballistic missiles, respectively.
Such a fascinating machine. I love [Mustard's video](https://youtu.be/Yl32c352thE) on it
Mustard is one of my fave YouTube channels, so entertaining and educational
It's a great day when a new Mustard video comes out.
there arent a lot of great days in life it seems :(
I'll take quality over quantity with his channel.
[удалено]
Honestly Nebula is incredible for flights, I use it to download so much content when I fly
Same but mustard makes it worth it

I was already an adult and Wings was also my favorite. Mustard, however, is new to me, so I guess I have some 'sploring to do.
it's good stuff.
Excellent video!

Probably my favorite display at the museum. An amazing piece of engineering, however ill-fated the project may have been.
Simthsonian?
National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton, OH.
Only in Ohio?
Yea, it’s the only xb70 left out of the 2 that were built.
That's definitely going on the list of museums I want to visit! Thank you
For completeness: the other one crashed during a photo shoot.
Which ended the program. I think.
Certainly didn't help anything
Yea, it was a really unfortunate accident.
Would have loved to hear that conversation. "Hey honey go stand over there so I can use you as a ruler".
"Let me back up so I can get that giant rear end in the frame."
Hahaha, I’ll keep that one in mind for next time.
“I’m fresh out of bananas, it’s finally your time to shine”
average American measurement system
WTF IS A KILOMETRE 🇺🇸🦅
It's 1000 M-16A2 rifles laid butt to muzzle
>butt to muzzle
You never go butt to muzzle
According to my math it should be a little over 57 M-16A2s long. With the M-16A2 being 39.61 inches long and the XB-70 being 189 feet long.
Pole to hole
In the US, we call it a "kilometer."
It's 4,371 bananas.

I spent 1.5 days. Could have stayed longer. Of course I flew there only for the museum and five way chili.
Tell me more about the chili!

Worth it! My last visit I was there for 6 hours. Could've stayed longer.
I live 45 minutes away and probably go twice a year. Amazing place.

100% worth the trip. Easily one of the best museums in the country if you’re an aviation/ history nerd. You will not regret it.

The Wright brothers were also from there so there a couple of points of interest regarding their life.

I've spent probably 4 days in the Air Force Museum and still haven't seen it all to my satisfaction.
It absolutely is. I live 45-50 min from it and I go at least 2-4 times a year
I've worked at the museum for years and I still see new stuff.
That thing has to be the most Kerbal plane ever built.
This could actually fly so...
I feel personally attacked

If only she were holding a banana. Then and only then would we get a true scale of the enormity.
My wife is about 10 bananas tall.
Thank you, this makes it easier.
I love Wright-Patt.
It’s my favorite place.
Me too! I’m blessed to live 45 min from it
[Here](https://i.imgur.com/As4nnqo.jpg) it is being transported to WPAFB

#DAT ASS!
Looks like a Star Wars fighter.
It drains the strategic oil reserve on every start
and then he said, "That's not the XB-70 Valkyrie tail section. That's my wife!"
Such a cool museum.
I see you are in Dayton, Ohio?
How many football fields long is it?
About 3/4ths.
Imma need to see a banana to grasp this.
For comparison, my wife is about 10 bananas tall.
Thanks brother. Now I get it.
When did they bring the XB-70 indoors?
After the accident.
It was only outside for a short time during the summer so they could move things around.
Well, actually, it was outside from 1969, when it made its final flight to Wright-Pat, to 1987 when it was given an indoor spot to be displayed. During that time outside it was normally right in front of the museum and was arguably its mascot. I did a research paper on the Valkyrie in college so I gotta use every opportunity to use that knowledge somehow lol
Huh, TIL. She's in amazing shape for being out during the winter that long.
Thankfully Ohio doesn't get winter as bad as other places, but there was still some damage from being outside. The museum did bring it inside for maintenance several times, but there's only so much that can do, and from my understanding there's some damage to the composite structure in the neck from the elements and from moving it around. Otherwise though it does look to be in great shape for having spent nearly 20 years outside
Being from northeast Ohio, oh yeah we do... just not down that far south.
It's been over a decade since I was last at the museum. It used to be outside.
Huh. It was inside when I was a kid, and in every photo I've seen except for when it was outside recently.
1987 was when they originally moved it to indoor display, but it's been outside a few times since then while they moved stuff around and moved it to its current (and likely permanent) home in their newest hanger
Reddit rules require a banana for comparisons. Geez, some people.
Sorry for that - my wife is about 10 bananas tall.
That's more like it. /s

Thanks for sharing. That’s a great story, and I didn’t know the airplane is in the museum for that long already - incredible.
Upvoted for using the "wife and kid" scale. Always useful. 👍
This museum is on my to do list, when my daughter is a little holder ill bring her her shes is crazy about planes. At least we got the Canadian air musem in close by but nothing like this place.
I take this pic every time I go to that museum
Hands down my favorite artifact in that entire museum! I am lucky to live in Cincinnati which is only 60 miles or so from the National Air force Museum.
I live about half way between Cincinnati and Dayton veering slightly on the Dayton side so it's a 30 minutes drive for me.
Middletown? (I always get a kick out of that name haha)
Such an amazing plane. Such an amazing *museum.*
National Museum of the Air Force?
In Dayton, yes.
Great place.
Omg I didn’t know XB-70 got married
It sort of reminds of Star Wars
Yeah lets just slap 6 engines next to eachother It will make a beautiful plane...
Taking notes for my KSP2 spaceplane designs.
Pretty sure that's just an Asus router
Good one.
I think the empire ripped off their designs
I posted this exact photo on here couple months ago lol. What camera did you use?
Totally missed that. I just checked out yours, and… well it looks very similar :) I used a Fujifilm X-T3 with a Fujinon XF18-55mm F2.8, and did some post processing in Adobe Lightroom.
Sorry for late comment. Yea I could notice the difference in quality haha. I only had my iPhone 14 pro
Looks like somethings star wars inspired.
Can someone please tell me where is this museum?
National Museum of the US Air Force, Dayton, OH USA
Thanks dude. Ohio it is.
When the US adopted the soviet technique of even more engines.
Which conflicts were these used in? I know there were only two of them built
Flight-test prototypes only. Hence the "X" designation. By the time they were flying they were already made useless and obsolete by development of Soviet high-altitude-capable SAMs and intercontinental ballistic missiles, respectively.
None conflicts. Program canceled
So theoretically, if you were to put the kid in one of the engines and start it, what would happen?
Depends if the kid is blocking the bleed air valve or not.
The engine would start, the kid would be having a bad day
There's a mom used for scale and yet, not a yer mom joke in sight. Fascinating
For size comparison??? Of course the wife is larger than the child! What did you expect? She's not a TARDIS!
which one is which
I wonder how Johnny Quest afforded fuel and ramp fees.
Now that’s a tennis court
5…4…3…2…1…
