The sole surviving XB-70 Valkyrie used to sit out on the tarmac at the USAF Museum in Dayton OH. Eventually, they built a hangar to showcase the big white bird. Then as the museum grew, they moved it again to another hangar, and now you need to sign up for a special tour just to see it.

We see many Exotic Aircraft from Ellington Field - et al - fly over our skies here day and night:

Such as this WB-57 on Ramp at Ellington Field

And this 377SGT Training Super Guppy aka: “Vomit Comet” flew over our house last Spring

I often see an aircraft that I usually hear - its unique backward pointing prop driven airvraft - BEFORE actually seeing it in the sky. It has a long slender nose and overall shape like the retired XB-70 super sonic but this one is “twin-back-fired-propeller” driven!

Anyone know what this experimental aircraft is?
