The North American X-15A1 spurred my interests in aviation, rocketry, and space travel back in the early-mid 1960's. I have about two dozen models of the all three versions of the X-15. You made this 70 year old guy very happy. I can't wait to see it on my next trip to the museum.
I visited the Pima Air & Space Museum in 2018 and wondered where the NB-52A was. I finally spotted it in the distance; off the museum grounds and in restoration. Having followed the program as a kid who built models of each aircraft, I was disappointed that I didn't get to see the real thing while I was there. But I will definitely return to see the restored NB-52A with the X-15 replica mounted. That will be a thrill!
Beautiful work, Tom. I worked with the founder Ed Guard when he first started the business 40 years ago with Doris Lee. We built full scale Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury spacecraft for the Oklahoma Air and Space Museum. That got it all started. It is so good to see that you have kept the business going strong.
Was so excited to discover this plane was no ordinary B52 when I visited with family last month! Sorry I missed the "model" rocket, but I guess it is a good reason to return.

Stunning is an understatement!
That replica is absolutely beautiful!
Incredible work, the perfect accessory for the well-dressed B-52.
I remember when I was growing up watching documentary's of the X-15 flight with my dad.
This is very cool. Love the archival footage!

Wow that is amazing looking.
Great job to everyone involved 👍
Beautiful work. Only thing better would be a real one, but this is likely less mass hanging on the wing.
Very nice.
Cool 😎 👍
That makes it all well worth the 900 miles to get there .
