Mounted on a modified Boeing 747 shuttle carrier aircraft, Atlantis took off from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The trip, flown during daylight hours and in precipitation-free weather, will necessitate several stopovers for fueling and is expected to take at least two days to complete.

  • VIDEO DE POCA MADRE NO?

  • But according to Official statements, the SHUTTLE IS NO MORE HEAVIER FOR THE 747 THANKS TO MODERN DESIGNS

  • I think the shuttle was actually heavier than the Boeing 747. It's wonderful to see how that plane can carry so much.
