Question about HA1010 Hobby Master F-104N Starfighter, NASA

I noticed that this NASA F-104N is an aircraft reportedly piloted by test pilot Joe Walker at Edwards AFB in 1966-- is this the same F-104 that Walker was flying when he spectacularly collided with the XB-70 over Edwards in 1966, where both aircraft were lost and Walker was killed?

I answered the question myself-- I went to Hawkonevoodoo's site and he reports that this is Walker's plane that collided with the XB-70. If anyone is interested, there are quite a few photos of this collision and crash. I did find a link to pictures of the collision and crash. Here it is:
