BillD22 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Here are some shots of the NASA B747 that was used to carry the Space Shuttle back to the Kennedy Space Center when it had to land on the West Coast instead of at the Cape. The airplane is on a flight from Edwards Air Force Base (KEDW) in the sunny California desert to a cloudy landing in Florida at the Shuttle landing facility. This would be from sometime in the 1980s.

NMLW Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Great shot of the space shuttle piggyback Bill. :cool: :cool: When I lived near Chantilly, VA I saw the the fly around of the Enterprise and its carrier that was being delivered to the Smithsonian Museum now Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles.
