The shuttle transport may very well have flown some distance along the

actually believed "The Futher Adventures of Han Solo (and Chewbacca)",
then I might be getting close to believing this shuttle transport story.


Hi Pete

Might want to vist this site.... then come back to the group with your
comments.

Terry,

That same site has already been posted by the OP in an earlier message.
However, it does not contain anything that would make the ferry flight
story more believable nor does it contain any information about the ferry
flight described at all.


Exactly!

The story reads like an account of a VIP Simulator ride, except that someone
probably edited out the usual disclaimer about the simulation.

I got it from a friend who was a member of the Apollo astronaut corps.
He got it from other friends still in NASA.

I DO know that they flew down the east coast of Florida at about 1000
feet, because I know people who saw it.
