Boeing B-52 Stratofortress conducting minimum interval takeoffs (MITO), an aircraft scramble technique designed to put as many aircraft in the sky as quickly as possible.

Gotta love those old smoky Pratt & Whitney J57 turbojets!

"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."

Operation Linebacker II (Dec 18 - 29, 1972) by Linh Yoshimura Via Flickr: Dec 1972 - Right front view of a B-52D Stratofortress aircraft from Strategic Air Command taking off from the Andersen AFB, in Guam, for a mission over North Vietnam during Operation LINEBACKER II. Notice, due to the high sensitive strategic missions of the Boeing B-52s, none of them was stationned in Vietnam during the war.
