Convair GRB-36F Peacemaker recovers Republic YRF-84F Thunderstreak during FICON (Fighter Conveyor) trials, May 1953
I somehow never knew until today that for a very brief time (1955–56), there was a service operational airborne mothership, which definitely didn't involve the Goblin but rather an RB-36 / F-84 combo.

A gritty, detailed, high-contrast, black and white photograph, styled as a vintage WWII-era photojournalistic print. The image is a dynamic, low-angle, close-up, frontal shot of a US Army soldier riding a heavily weathered Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycle through rugged, rocky, and sandy desert terrain. The soldier, wearing a dust-covered M1 helmet and combat uniform, is intensely focused, with sand and grime caked on his face. The front tire of the motorcycle, labeled with the hand-painted 'WLA' marking on the fender, is blurred by motion as it kicks up a powerful rooster tail of fine sand and small rocks. The motorcycle features a front-mounted scabbard with a spring-field-style rifle butt visible, a leather saddlebag on the right side, and heavy-duty knobby tires. Expended shell casings litter the immediate foreground in the dirt. In the background, there is a massive, dark column of explosion smoke on the right, and the entire scene is framed by arid desert mountains and dunes under a harsh, high-contrast sky. The photo has a visible distressed paper border with tears and a faint sepia tone. The lighting is direct, casting deep, solid shadows that blend with the sand and terrain, creating a cinematic, raw, and dangerous atmosphere. The focus is sharp on the soldier and the handlebars, with deep texture on the metal and fabric.
