This thread is dedicated to the XB-70 Valkyrie bomber.
Weighing in at over 1/2 MILLION POUNDS, this aircraft was capable of Mach 3+ speeds.
Here's the WIKI link:

...and here is a short video explaining the CANCELLATION of the XB-70 Program following a midair collision and the loss of one of the two prototype airframes.
I understand that the remaining aircraft is in the USAF's Wright Patterson AFB Museum.
