Night flight: NASA shuttle carrier jumbo jet on road trip to Space Center Houston [i]NASA's original shuttle-carrying jumbo jet is on the move. Two years after completing its final orbiter ferry flights, the space agency's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA), a modified Boeing 747, departed an air field in Houston to be placed on public display. The partially-dismantled, white and blue jetliner completed the first leg of its 8-mile (13-kilometer), two-night road trip to Space Center Houston overnight on Monday (April 28). "Even in a state as big as Texas, a move of this size is unprecedented," Houston Mayor Annise Parker said in a statement. "This massive exhibit will celebrate American ingenuity and create an international icon highlighting Houston's leadership role as Space City, USA."[/i]
