The others could have been once they took off the weather plane that flew in front of the SCA turned them around. The Endeavour delivery flight could have been a test flight since it was the first time 911 had an orbiter on it for flight and the first time the SCA/orbiter had flown out or into Palmdale. |

I count 14 shuttle ferry flights that (apparently) had to return to base. All of them are counted as legs in the HAER list.
- STS-28 Columbia ... EDW-EDW ... Aug. 18, 1989
- STS-33 Discovery ... EDW-EDW ... Dec. 2, 1989
- STS-36 Atlantis ... EDW-EDW ... Mar. 10, 1990
- STS-35 Columbia ... EDW-EDW ... Dec. 16, 1990
- delivery of Endeavour ... PMD-PMD ... May 2, 1991
- OMDP Columbia ... X68-X68 ... Aug. 9, 1991
- OMDP Columbia ... PMD-PMD ... Feb. 7, 1992
- STS-42 Discovery ... EDW-EDW ... Feb. 11, 1992
- STS-49 Endeavour ... EDW-EDW ... May 21, 1992
- STS-59 Endeavour ... EDW-EDW ... Apr. 26, 1994
- STS-76 Atlantis ... EDW-EDW ... Apr. 6, 1996
- OMDP Discovery ... PMD-PMD ... June 25, 1996
- OMDP Endeavour ... PMD-PMD ... Mar. 25, 1997
- OMDP Atlantis ... PMD-PMD ... Sept. 22, 1998
There could be even more, because the list does not include any of the Enterprise ferry flights. | |
