I thought you submit your photo to the NY Times because they’re almost identical!

Awesome pics, Elliot! I beg to differ about this not being domain related! This shows one of the perks of working in the domain business from home, heh

Here is an article about the 747 itself: collectspace.com/news/news-041212b.html It must have been exciting to watch it ferrying the shuttle down the Hudson from on top of your roof! Good thinking, to go up and take photos!

Those are amazing – thanx for sharing! My Dad used to fly that same 747 as a co-pilot, before it got sold to NASA, so I’ll have to save your photos. Thanx!

Those are awesome pictures. I have never seen the space shuttle in real life, but every time I see it on the back of that 747 I think it should be a lot bigger in order to fly into space.

Awesome

I have a unreal photo of the plane with a shuttle atop leaving ellington AF base in Webster Tx near NASA taken by my uncle a professional photographer who was at the end of the runway standing in the Pasadena Landfill.

I get chills when I think of the many occasions over the years where we saw the double bird arriving and then visited the base as the shuttle carrier stopped enroute from CA. to Florida to give the NASA folks a visit.

One time we actually got to walk into and out of the plane while it was carrying the shuttle.

@ M

It was a very cool experience. The shuttle was flying very low and less than a mile away (basically 4 avenues away).
