According to Wikipedia, this was ALT-15 (next to last ALT flight) and was "Free flight #4" (first of two without tailcone).

ALT stands for Approach and Landing Test. Despite what Wikipedia claims, there were only five ALT flights. They were preceded by ten captive flights that were not referred to as ALT flights.
