Steve jahn Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I am trying to find photos showing close ups of the entrance door and interior area just behind the pilot ejection seats. I have all the books published and the flight manual but have never seen this area documented. Any leads you might have would be great. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Fifer Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Airwingmedia.com sells an XB-70 reference CD containing the flight manual (which you've already reviewed), relevant copies of Wings/Airpower magazine back issues, and photos. I just reviewed my copy and didn't find anything that would help you. Likewise no luck checking the cybermodeler.com XB-70 references. You've already been through all the books. Short of getting the Air Force Museum to open up the a/c for you, you might be out of luck. If you're looking to model this area, you might just have to go with an educated guess as to what the area would look like. Nobody will be able to prove you wrong. Good luck with your search!

X-Plane Fan Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 All you see is a lot of instrumentation and support equipment. Here are a couple shots I took back in 2001. Looking forward: Looking aft: Hope that helps. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve jahn Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Tony, That's terrific. These are the first pictures I've seen anywhere of this area. Do you have any of the door entrance, especially the inside? I have both the Specialty Press and Warbird Tech books and they are both fantastic. Thank you so much for writing both of these books. They have been used many times for increasing my knowledge of this great airplane. Steve Jahn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
