After going through the archives, attached are some pictures of the lone  
remaining North American XB-70A Valkyrie.  It is of such a futuristic  
shape, 
that even today it begs to be photographed from a variety of  perspectives:
 
These were taken in May 1977:

This was taken in October, 1981.  The plane has since been moved  indoors 
into a new hangar:
