Bonus Shots II




What was originally going to be one post of extra photos grew to be so unwieldly that I split it into two; here are a dozen more. Enjoy!

    The first pic needs a sign on top of the aircraft that reads, "If you can read this, my shuttle has fallen off".

      Last I heard, this airplane was on the ground at Ellington Field, outside of Houston, near the Johnson Space Center. This is the first of the two Shuttle Carrier Aircraft; the other has already been retired to serve as parts for another NASA B747. This one started out life with American Airlines, and prior to shuttle duty was used in wake turbulence research.

      Well, the really bad ones don't make it out of the camera. The bad ones that do make it out can sometimes be seen over at totallyjackedupaircraftphotos.blogspot.com

      Thanks - Good to hear from you again!
