Apparently they might have a shuttle or two lying around soon.

I hope if they bring it to McMinnville, it's a good flying day. That would
make for some awesome aerial shots; a Space Shuttle cruising the old highway
through farmland and wine country. Never happen, I bet...what kind of air
restrictions do you suppose they'd place on a slowly-moving object like
that?
They'll have to do something or every small airplane in the northwest will
be swarming around over it.

Why truck'em?
Fly them to their final destinations on their special NASA 747.
The 747 won't have any further use. It may go to the Udvar-Hazy after it
delivers the shuttles to various museums around the world.
