"The second free-flight test of an evolving series of X-38 prototypes took place July 10, 2001 when the X-38 was released from NASA's B-52 mothership over the Edwards Air Force Base range in California's Mojave Desert. Shortly after the photo was taken, a sequenced deployment of a drogue parachute followed by a large parafoil fabric wing slowed the X-38 to enable it to land safely on Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards. NASA engineers from the Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards, and the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, are developing a 'lifeboat' for the International Space Station based on X-38 research."

The oldest B-52 in service seen on approach to Nellis AFB during Red Flag in 2020

B-52H s/n 60-0001 was the first to roll of the assembly line and today carries the name and nose art "Memphis Belle IV". She has been in service for 50+ years making her the the oldest H Model flying and is still likely in service today.
