A B-52, modified as a mother ship, is seen in flight, with an X-24 lifting body aircraft suspended beneath it. (A slot was cut in the right wing which was fitted with a special pylon for carrying research aircraft.) No significant movements are seen, as the B-52 cruises smoothly at altitude for much of the beginning of the film. Commencing at TC: 01:26, Rear paddle-style flight controls are moved and and adjusted on the X-24. At TC: 04:53, the X-24 emits smoke and again, at TC: 05:27. At TC :05:36, the engine of the X-24 is running and the lifting body aircraft drops vertically away from the B-52, which then continues its cruise at altitude. (Note: the film is reversed so the right wing appears as the left one.)
