FICON RBF-84K Thunderflash, 52-7269, is lowered from the bomb bay of GRB-36D Peacemaker, 49-2696, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., following an emergency night retrieval on Dec. 12, 1955. The parasite pilot suffered a partial hydraulic system failure but succeeded in hooking onto the trapeze. Post-flight inspection revealed he had turned off his own hydraulic system due to the distractions of approaching the trapeze. (U.S. Air Force photo)
