Found what I had read
Quote:
The spacecraft's first powered test flight took place on 29 April 2013. Spaceshiptwo reached supersonic speeds in this first powered flight.[49][50] On 5 September 2013, the second powered flight was made by SpaceShipTwo.[51] The first powered test flight of 2014—and third overall—occurred 10 January 2014. The spacecraft reached an altitude of 22,000 metres (71,000 ft) (the highest to date) and a speed of Mach 1.4. The WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft released SpaceShipTwo (VSS Enterprise) at an altitude of 14,000 metres (46,000 ft) .[52]
