...looking at the following pics, I have a few questions.

1) The model in the right side of the case, just above and behind the B-1, is that the Boeing 804? Based on what I can make out of the tail in the two extra pics below the first, it seems like it.

2) What is the gray vehicle to the right of the shuttle in the left side of the case? It looks like some sort of hypersonic vehicle with the single vertical tail and down-turned wing tips.

3) On top of the left side of the case, to the left of the shuttle stack, what is the twin engined vehicle with the high aspect ratio wing. It looks like some sort of high alt recon vehicle/uav to me, but I don't recognize it.

Thanks.

The first link is for all three questions. The second two links are just adjuncts to the first question, since you can sort of see the trailing edge of the wing/rear of the aircraft in question in those other two photos.

Err, no. Unless the the B-70 was to be prop-driven in any incarnation.

The model looks to be the Condor RPV/UAV from the 1980s.
 
Ah. That was my *other* left, then.

*Sigh*

Disregard my last. (But Condor is on my list of cool things.)
