Has anyone ever flown flyback boosters on any vehicle?

Do X-planes count?
Anti-satellite weapons launched from fighters?
Pegasus?
Rutan's SpaceShipOne?

I suspect he means rocket powered VTHL, which is (AFAIK) the default
meaning for 'flyback booster'. To date the HTHL airbreathers you
refer to have been referred to as 'carriers' or 'motherships'.
