X-21's (B-66 Laminar flow) spotted derelict
Stumbled across both of the X-21's derelict on the photo range near Edwards AFB while surfing google maps. Would be neat if one (plus the Snoopy B-58) were dragged to the museum ramp. F-100 and F-101 along the same road. Interesting that the laminar flow wing did indeed work, but had to be kept super clean.

If you scroll down a bit in this photo collection you will find close-up images of the X-21s and other aircraft on the Edwards ranges.

With the X-21 but the problem just seems to have scaled proportionally. |
