The first flight (Flight 2-l) of the second XB-70A, No. 62-207, completed all the test objectives. The flight was notable for its absence of in-flight squawks. This near perfect flight was marred only by a nose wheel steering hard-over whichI occurred while turning off the runway after the landing. The flight was completed 17 July 1965 by Mr. Al White, North American Aviation, Inc (NAA) Pilot, and Colonel Cotton, Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Copilot. The early morning takeoff was delayed because of electrical problems with the pitch trim system of the flight augmentation control system (FACS) and a heavy rain showers.
