White was backup to Scott Crossfield for the X-15. He had the same training as Crossfield, but never did fly the X-15. He did fly many of the chase planes for X-15 flights. He was the pilot on the XB-70 when it collided with an F-104 piloted by former X-15 pilot Joe Walker. Walker and White's co-pilot on the XB-70 were killed. White was able to eject and survived.
