Description
NASA's NB-52B Stratofortress mothership taking off from Runway 04 at Edwards Air Force Base with the X-43A Hyper-X supersonic combustion ramjet testbed on November 16, 2004. It has been asserted that the NB-52B can lay claim to being the airplane that has seen and participated in more history than any other single airplane. For forty-five years, the NB-52B was a fixture at Edwards Air Force Base. While the NB-52B is most famous for launching the three North American X-15 rocket planes, it continued to serve in the role of launch platform for a multitude of programs for forty-five years. This was its final mission.
