1The Pegasus flight program began with three "captive" flights using inert vehicles. These missions were conducted on 9 Nov 89, 15 Dec 89, and 30 Jan 90.
The first seven "live" Pegasus flights, beginning on 5 April 90, as well as the inert flights, originated from the Ames/Dryden Flight Research facility at Edwards
AFB, California. They were carried alof.t by a modified 8-52 aircraft provided by NASA. Beginning with the eight mission, Pegasus was carried by a modified
Lockheed L-1011 aircraft and was staged from Vandenberg AFB.
