In 1959 , a North American X-15 “rocket research aircraft” was dropped from a Boeing B-52 on its first free-flight flight test.

In 1967 , one of them achieved a speed of Mach 6.72 —an official record that stands to this day .

A report from the Paris Air Show noted that a “spectacular demonstration by the Swedish Saab Draken [fighter] and some inspired flying by French and British aerobatic teams saved this 23rd International Aeronautical Salon from being just another air show.
