    Remembering the SCA N905 ?

    I am building a model of the Space Shuttle and its SCA N905. As an enthusiast, I researched the fate of the SCA since it has no further role of ferrying Orbiters. It was said it would be retired and used for spare parts as her sister craft was. Now for the good news. SCA N905NA flew from Dryden to Ellington Field near Houston. She will stay in Houston for visitors, eventually. I'm glad this historic aircraft, which also flew the Enterprise to the Paris Air Show in 1983, will be exhibited. Smart move. I'd love to take a tour !

    I wish they could have kept the SCA and Orbiter together (at least at the museum at Cape Canaveral), but as we know that's not the case.

    I built a 1/144 scale model of the SCA back in the 80's. Still have it, but it's lost a few key components over the years! Back in those days, the NASA 747 still had the original AA livery colors (minus the logo and name, of course).
