EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
It would be the most accurate T&B EDF out there, since the real airplane didn't have landing gear.

I imagine, too, it was quite the "white-knuckler" making that connection in flight, even with a "funnel" type fixture aiding the alignment.

Actually I think that flight test pilots got extra pay. But that's the Air Force. The Navy was launching and recovering planes in mid-air back in the 1930s:

I don't think I'd want to try airborne recovery in either case, but if I had to, I'd go with a biplane hooking up with a blimp.

to think about. They never tested the Goblin with a B-36, only with a B-29 which is about half the size of a B36:

Yeah, the Peacemaker was massive. We have one of the few remaining Peacemakers at the Pima Air and Space Museum here in Tucson. It's quite impressive to walk around and under.
My Dad worked on them when he was in the USAF, and one of my supervisors back in California had been aircrew on them.
