Correction, the pilot killed in the 104 collision with the XB-70 was Joe
Walker, then NASA Chief Test Pilot. Al White successfully ejected from the 70 but Major Carl Cross died on impact. Rob "Scubabix" wrote in message ... "Chuck" wrote in message ... Wasn't Ivan Kinchelow killed in one of these? I believe so, chasing the XB-70 Rob

Ejection seat trivia
While stationed at NAS Alameda in the mid-50's, I believe that Kinchelow was
killed on final to R/W31. As I understood it, He tried to roll inverted but was too low and ejected sideways into the water. Perhaps it was someone else but I know it happened. My memory gets foggy after 50 some years. "Scubabix" wrote in message ... Correction, the pilot killed in the 104 collision with the XB-70 was Joe Walker, then NASA Chief Test Pilot.

I believe so, chasing the XB-70 Rob IVEN C. KINCHELOE was killed July 26,1958 ejecting from a F-104A at Edwards AFB. He had been named as one of the first X-15 pilots. After his death he was replaced on the X-15 program by Bob White (not to be confused with Al White, the XB-70 pilot). His death was responsible for Lockheed and the Air Force replacing the Lockheed Stanley C-1 seat with the C-2 upward ejecting seat.
