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.



Could a 747 (bearing a Space Shuttle) on a 5420 x 150 ft runway with an
80,000lb weight bearing capacity? If so, I want to be there when it
happens...
