Carrier jet convoy

摘要

A boeing 747 that gave piggyback rides to space shuttles is about to hit the road one last time. On 28 April, a convoy carrying the dismantled jet will begin its journey to Space Center Houston in Texas, where the plane will be the centrepiece of a new exhibit. NASA used two modified 747s to ferry its space shuttles around the country. After the shuttle fleet retired in 2011, the spacecraft were placed in museums.
