NASA B-52 landing at Edwards Air Force Base

NASA B-52 (NB-52A, 52-003) landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, following an unsuccessful X-15 launch mission. (The liquid oxygen tank pressure fluxuated due to a vent leak.) The B-52 makes a routine landing, deploying its drag chute on the ground roll.

Rocket powered aircraft X-15 with NB-52A Stratofortress in flight and lands at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

X-15 rocket plane in its first powered flight. Glimpse of water tower at Edwards Air Force Base, California. NASA NB-52, 52-003, carrying an X-15 under its wing is seen overhead, along with two chase planes. All are generating contrails. The X-15 releases from the B-52 and its separate contrail is seen. It lags well behind the B-52 for moment, and then accelerates up and past the B-52 mothership. It is seen as a white dot moving at high speed across the sky. (Note: This is X-15 No. 2, tail number: 56-6671. Scott Crossfield flew this mission at mach 2.11 and altitude 52,341 feet.)

X-15 rocket plane lands on Rogers Dry Lake runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California

F-100D chase plane flies over X-15 rocket plane while the latter is on final approach to land at Rogers Dry Lake runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California. NASA camera follows the X-15 as it nears the runway in a medium nose-up attitude and then touches down, first on its main skids, followed by its nose gear. The X-15 raises a trail of dust as it continues down the runway, past a truck in the foreground. As it comes to a halt, a truck races out to it. Two H-21 helicopters fly over it and one hovers nearby. Another truck and a fire truck and ambulance drive out to the X-15. It is last seen surrounded by emergency and support vehicles. (This mission involving X-15, tail number 56-6671, was unsuccessful, due to a liquid oxygen leak.)
