My father was one of the chief aerodynamacists on the 747. The Kruger flaps were his baby as were the wings and the bubble nose for pilots. My father went through over 100 stall tests on the first 747, including tail stalls and stall s-p-i-n-s. When Boeing worked on the 747-800, I challenged an engineer I met who was working on it to go back and look at the drawings for my father's name. He told me a month later, "Your dad's name is all over those drawings." He was amazed that they did it all with slide rules. My father retired from Boeing as Chief engineer CAD design, in charge of the program that designed the 777.
A teacher in 8th grade invited a small number of us after class and he taught us to use the slide rule, an amazing fast calculator in the late 1960s. Dad was an AF navigator and brought me a Concise circular slide rule (6" diameter, I think), and as I recall, faster than my buddies with their yellow Pickett slide rules. I bought a couple of the latter on eBay (estate sales?) and take those with me to show the 3rd and 5th grade students I work with in ALP Math at Sorensen Magnet School. I explain that these were used to design airplanes like the X-29 because they could not afford to wait for a possible scheduled time on a mainframe computer. That was the forward swept wing airplane built with off-the-shelf parts from the T-38, F-5 and others in a quick flight testing project. I'll have to dig out my E-6Bs (and Dad's high-speed versions that I inherited) to show the students. I grew up around BUFFs and 135s during my first 17 years, and being an AF brat as I carry that discipline forever. When you don't have electrical power, a slide rule will still be working... When GPS satellites go dark... Thank you for this post!

I was training a Navy helicopter pilot in a Huey helicopter near Pensacola on a beautiful afternoon when approach control called to advise me of traffic at my 8 o’clock high. I looke over my shoulder and there it was, the SCA with a shuttle on top! It was far higher than me and I was no hazard to him but I thank that controller for giving me one of the biggest thrills of my flying career.
Good ol' 905! That was my late grandfather, Victor Horton's, old ride! He was the SCA's original primary flight engineer from the start of the Shuttle program, through the Approach and Landing Tests and the trip to the Paris Airshow with the Enterprise, and every ferry flight from Edwards to Kennedy, until a few months after the Challenger disaster in 1986, when he retired. I remember once when they were bringing the Enterprise into Vandenberg AFB for a fit-check on the never-used SLC-6 pad, Grandpa had Fitz (Fulton) make a low pass over our house in nearby Santa Maria with the 747-Shuttle combo, just to let us know he was in town. Created quite a stir with the neighbors, as I recall. We went out to meet him at the base for dinner that night. Somewhere, I actually have a picture of myself as a toddler sitting at his console in the 747 cockpit, wearing his headset. Sadly, Grandpa died in 1991, from injuries sustained in a car accident. Would love to see 905 again someday.
You can still see it @Space Center Houston with the Shuttle Independence mock-up mounted on top right across the street from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Also I believe they have either a Web cam or Weather Bug video feed as one of the Houston TV weatherman like to show both of them. I know you can go on the Independence and possibly also the SCA (N905NA). FYI. I know others have commented that the SCA is here before. I am not sure what a tour cost. Can also tour JSC itself on a tram that goes under the road that seperates the 2 places. Tram tour includes going into the Christopher Kraft Mission Control building (multiple different Mission Controls including 24 hour a day 365 days a year ISS.
Is not just a plane carrying a space shuttle. Is a plane carrying a shuttle with the Hollywood sign in the background.. can’t get more emblematic and iconic than that!
I am a 66 year old retiree, although living in central Maryland I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the SCA, in the early 2000’s being a tour bus driver I was on a trip to Florida with a high school band. I will never forget the day me and the other 2 drivers dropped the student off in Cocoa Beach us drivers went to find a place for lunch, all of a sudden we heard this loud noise in the sky and having no idea what it was we look up, not believing our eyes and there was one of the space shuttles in the sky heading to the heavens. A sight I will never forget.
In my elementary school they brought us outside to see the shuttle being carried by the plane. It was awesome, there were army jets on each side of it!
I had never heard of the SCA initial concept being proofed out with RC scale aircraft. That is totally awesome that they had the practical skills to show Boeing....hey this will work!
My family and I were on the beach in Florida many years ago. This 747 carrying the shuttle flew right over my head while out swimming in the ocean. I’ll never forget that.
When my brother was in the Air Force, he was stationed at Edwards A.F. Base. I remember visiting my brother on several different occasions. He took me to the Antelope Valley Mall. A nearly one hour drive just to get there!! We went to Six Flags in Anaheim, too. The second visit to see my brother was for my birthday. What a birthday gift that I will always cherish and remember!!! I love these Boeing 747's!! Such a beautiful, majestic and powerful aircraft!!! To see the scale and size of this plane compared to a human.....🤯!!! Great Video!!!
Just came across this video randomly. My cousin Billy is one of the 747 pilots that gave endeavor a piggyback ride all over California for its final flight. We even got to stand near the runway while they landed and then got to tour the 747. We were all very proud of my cousin! My dad passed away just months later but I’m glad he got to witness his big brother’s oldest son make his mark on history! Way to go Billy! We miss you -cousin Kevin in California
:) I was working at the Orlando airport in the late 1970s when I heard an announcement come over the terminal's PA system about this 747 carrying the shuttle was going to do a fly by on rout to Kennedy Space Center for the Orlando area. What a Sight it was. Thanks for sharing this vid on uTube, it brought back lotsO Great Memories of that moment in my life.... :)
What an amazing feat of aeronautical engineering! An aircraft that goes to different Planets, visits different galaxies, explores the inside of black and worm holes and brings its precious cargo and its crew safely back to earth. Like the rest of us, the Wright Brothers would have been sooo proud!
I remember seeing this as a young child fly over while my mother was driving to town. I said "MOM LOOK AT THAT!!" She was like oh yeah cool until she noticed the shuttle on top of it and she literally whipped the car around and tried to follow it down back roads out just of pure amazement lol. (It was getting ready to land at the AFB in our town so it was flying really low!)
Anyone who complains about overweight luggage charges needs to realize that the shuttle carrier aircraft has been stripped of all non-essential systems(no galleys, seating for essential personnel only) it's not carrying thousands of pounds of luggage for four hundred and sixteen passengers, and, the mileage STILL sucks because it's carrying a 151,419lb behemoth on its back.
Space shuttle: Mom let's go to space SCA: sorry son im not a spaceship im a plane that carries u Space Shuttle: but mom can be alone instead SCA: u may get lost so no Space Shuttle: awwww that sucks
The first SCA is now on permanent display outside of Space Center Houston, Next to the Johnson Space Center. Mounted on top is a replica shuttle that use to be in Florida. It's a very neat display, and I'd recommend anyone spending time in Houston, TX to check it out.
The Antonov An-225 heavy weight used to carry the shuttle Buran [Also retired] atop & has now been refitted, now could carry this 747 as well. Two great aircraft of their times.
Wow...what a GREAT documentary. Very melancholic and emotional...with all the bad stuff happening nowadays in the year 2020,watching this video made me feel human again.✌
747 were awesome and that Space Shuttle Carrier was awesome to catch wish I would of known about the LAX landing...Would of been there to see the awesomeness of it landing one last time.
I love this result of humanity. It's 100% American invention. But also 100% German post-WWII engineering power and also 100% Arabic cultural and educational power from longer times ago, most have a contribution.
8:11 One of my customers was on holiday in the USA and and said, one morning in San Francisco, he heard a loud noise approaching and stepped outside in time to see this. When he returned home, he made a point of coming to work to tell me about it, because he knew that I have a mild and passing (yeah, right) interest in this type of thing.
This is a wonderful video. Brought back my dormant feelings of awe for our bourgoning space program at the time. I was pretty young, and was hooked from the beginning. If one is capable of appreciating just the shuttles coming back into our atmosphere, nothing but a glide, with that mass to land...oh i loved it. Still do. Loved watching when it was transported (on tv) i STILL have not bee able to travel to go see the shuttle in person. It was THE diamond for the US, and the time. Love Elons landing rockets too! But they just don't have the beauty. But... love it all. And this was a great video
I live in houston..I got to go see the SCA and the space shuttle here..it really a beautiful sight..I highly recommend visiting the Johnson space center
In the last flyiing scene of the SCA and chase plane, what's that third craft that flys by in the opposite direction and cuts across SCA's path?🛸🛸? At 8:25 in the video?
I grew up in Florida and have been to several Shuttle Launches over the years there is something special about seeing the Shuttle in Person that just makes everyone present just So Proud to be a part of America it can be looking at it on a Launch Pad ,A Barge , on top of the transport Plane it just doesn’t matter it gives you Goose Bumps and Butterfies that are just Awesome oh I’ve also seen the Shuttle several times inMuseumns too my favorite spotting was living in the WashingtonD.C. Area when it flew over the Nations Capital which i beleive was one of the flights for it going to a Museumn
I saw it once on its return to KSC. It was landing to refuel in Columbus, Mississippi. An amazing sight to see it flying overhead at a few thousand feet.
For it's time it was definitely cutting edge. For those who argue for it's return, consider the fact that it's OLD technology. It served it's purpose well. Look what's being built now. Better, more powerful, and more EFFICIENT space vehicles that will allow us to go further, to the long envisioned journey to Mars. Nostalgia will not get us there. The shuttle, and the astronauts who died will have played their part in our landing people on that planet. ✌🏻🇺🇸
+Dennis Bouma because the shuttles were incredible expensive, up to one billion dollars per launch! not the mention they were extremely dangerous. 14 people died in two accidents.
+Keyboard runner The shuttle was around half a billion dollars, still quite expensive, this is why I can't wait for Dream chaser and Dragon V2. Re-usability is key in a space program.
The shuttle also wasn't very safe because, there is no good LAS or launch abort system. At first, they used ejection seats but after that they didn't not like on capsules where most of them have a launch abort system. A regular rocket is also expensive but the shuttle was more expensive.
When the Shuttle Carrier goes to land does the shuttle have to separate and glide down independent of the 747 or can the shuttle carrier land with the shuttle on top of it?
My late husband taught those pilots! I was lucky enough to watch them land at DFW airport. Great memories.
Sandi Galloway wow
Sorry for your loss. That’s really cool, though.
That's amazing! it's sad that the space shuttle is retired 😞:(

Its only heavy when it's on ground ;) In the air it's not longer heavy, because the lift forces the shuttle up due to its own wings

35 years to the day, I was in Cologne, Germany, to see the SCA with the Enterprise... and today I just found this video.
so thats how planes make babies....nice....
This is how space x was born 😂
I sought that but whatever floats your boa..... Plane
🤣🤣
Lol
Space shuttle: Mom let's go to space
SCA: sorry son im not a spaceship im a plane that carries u
Space Shuttle: but mom can be alone instead
SCA: u may get lost so no
Space Shuttle: awwww that sucks
Best part is on the mount with this notice:
Attach orbiter here,
black side down
America is a great Nation, an example of innovation and inventions to the entire world. 🇮🇳🇺🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸
I love the brief shots of the engine lifts used to put the SSMEs into the Orbiter. Damn, that really drives home the sheer scale of the things.
What a beauty! I'm glad we've these footages.
The first SCA is now on permanent display outside of Space Center Houston, Next to the Johnson Space Center. Mounted on top is a replica shuttle that use to be in Florida. It's a very neat display, and I'd recommend anyone spending time in Houston, TX to check it out.
I got a lego toy for this aircraft in 97， when I was a child, that is amazing, I love it.
the people who disliked were airbus engineers
@Wayne Bolton AYYYYY THE A380 IS THE BEST PLANE EVERRR
Only Americans think war or hate in everything.
Wayne Bolton why would you wish that. Wtf is wrong with you Americans
@Wayne Bolton ah yes the usual american
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣no 🧢
That note looks like something u would see is kerbal space program
Very warming video feel like moma carrying her baby at back🥰
The Antonov An-225 heavy weight used to carry the shuttle Buran [Also retired]
atop & has now been refitted, now could carry this 747 as well.
Two great aircraft of their times.
+quigon87yt There Is No Shuttle Named Buran
+FlashGaming123 The Russian shuttle... flown once
oh
Wow...what a GREAT documentary.
Very melancholic and emotional...with all the bad stuff happening nowadays in the year 2020,watching this video made me feel human again.✌
"If it ain't Boeing I ain't going" only the Queen of the Skies could have handled this patriotic duty the 747 will always be Awesome.
747 were awesome and that Space Shuttle Carrier was awesome to catch wish I would of known about the LAX landing...Would of been there to see the awesomeness of it landing one last time.
I am indonesian. But i love what american people do. I am so so amazed to you guys. I love it
I love this result of humanity. It's 100% American invention. But also 100% German post-WWII engineering power and also 100% Arabic cultural and educational power from longer times ago, most have a contribution.
Nope if the Arabs got their hands on this they would fly it into a building.
Two Eye by Arabs you mean George W Bush and his crew don’t you?
8:11
One of my customers was on holiday in the USA and and said, one morning in San Francisco, he heard a loud noise approaching and stepped outside in time to see this.
When he returned home, he made a point of coming to work to tell me about it, because he knew that I have a mild and passing (yeah, right) interest in this type of thing.
Lol "black side down" I love it!
Bet you do
So glad I found this video. Had a random thought about how they attach the shuttle to the plane. Thank You UA-cam
Its pretty sad that this shuttel would never fly again.. Shur, every vehicle has a ending date of time. But this one is one of the best!

This is a wonderful video. Brought back my dormant feelings of awe for our bourgoning space program at the time. I was pretty young, and was hooked from the beginning. If one is capable of appreciating just the shuttles coming back into our atmosphere, nothing but a glide, with that mass to land...oh i loved it. Still do. Loved watching when it was transported (on tv) i STILL have not bee able to travel to go see the shuttle in person. It was THE diamond for the US, and the time. Love Elons landing rockets too! But they just don't have the beauty. But... love it all. And this was a great video
The 747 looks so Majestic 🖤
I live in houston..I got to go see the SCA and the space shuttle here..it really a beautiful sight..I highly recommend visiting the Johnson space center
The 747 is an absolute masterpiece
Does anyone know what happened to the sca? It would've been great to see it next to a shuttle, or under one in a museum!
There’s one at the Houston space center with a replica shuttle on top, and another at the Kennedy space center in Florida
Incredible!
I always wanted to be a pilot, maybe one day I will do it recreationally
Why do I have a 50lb weight limit on my bag when this thing Carrie’s a damn space ship
I still remember seeing that fly over my school in kinder it was pretty damn awesome
In the last flyiing scene of the SCA and chase plane, what's that third craft that flys by in the opposite direction and cuts across SCA's path?🛸🛸? At 8:25 in the video?
I saw it in 4th grade at my school when the endeavor was being delivered
How old where you in 4th grade?
And how old are you now?
Astronomy Talk same for me here, I’m 15 and about to turn 16
Do the shuttle wings add lift to the operation??
"Black side down" This is my humor :D
Who are you. Derek Chauvin?
7:58 bottom right... what's that accompanying plane?
Saw the last flight of this.
RIP Shuttle program.
I grew up in Florida and have been to several Shuttle Launches over the years there is something special about seeing the Shuttle in Person that just makes everyone present just So Proud to be a part of America it can be looking at it on a Launch Pad ,A Barge , on top of the transport Plane it just doesn’t matter it gives you Goose Bumps and Butterfies that are just Awesome oh I’ve also seen the Shuttle several times inMuseumns too my favorite spotting was living in the WashingtonD.C. Area when it flew over the Nations Capital which i beleive was one of the flights for it going to a Museumn
I watched them move it down highway 3 outside of Houston to put on display at Johnson space center after the program ended
Truly amazing, the whole shuttle program, even more so when you consider the time it was developed. Yet people still say Americans are stupid...
I wish I could have seen this in person.
well it is in space center houston
'I called up Boeing one day and said 'promise not to laugh'"..... If Boeing had "laughed", where would we be?
Amazing footage !
Rodrigo Zauza .
I saw it once on its return to KSC. It was landing to refuel in Columbus, Mississippi. An amazing sight to see it flying overhead at a few thousand feet.
I was there at CAFB as well when it landed.
When I was a kid I thought it existed just in the Superman movie
oh look a Plane teaching its son to fly
How much money do they have to pay for that extra luggage
Minh Vu
Probably like 100,000$
40 50 bucks
Minh Vu Taht will be 999,999,999,999,999,999 dollars please.
Minh Vu HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA
For it's time it was definitely cutting edge. For those who argue for it's return, consider the fact that it's OLD technology. It served it's purpose well. Look what's being built now. Better, more powerful, and more EFFICIENT space vehicles that will allow us to go further, to the long
envisioned journey to Mars. Nostalgia will not get us there. The shuttle, and the astronauts who died will have played their part in our landing people on that planet. ✌🏻🇺🇸
What did NASA do with the SCA after the Shuttle program ended ?
Late, but it probably makes SPECIFIC appearances around airshows, or sits in a museum somewhere.
Palmdale CA and Houston TX, after a few organ donations.

Is this plane is used for just to move shuttle from one site to another?
Engineering connections, make an episode on this.
Amazing engineering and technology
I flew with a 747 from Frankfurt to Sandiego and we needed to return because the Gear wont get in.
We saw this plane flying in Superman return. Coolest thing ever
#Amazing#Work
Great
On my youth days, it was the picture of my life. THE MOST AMAZING PIGGY BACK
nice
nice
Does it land with the shuttle on its back ??? To normal airports ??
And they dont allow us bring heavy luggage...
*What kind of joke is this?*
Yep charge us per pound. Imagine what 200000 lbs would cost them.
I remember when I saw this plane fly over my elementary school. We were all going crazy climbing stairs to get a better angle. Good times
真的讓人嘆為觀止！
What is covering the shuttles thrusters while on the 747?
The engines are covered for aerodynamics and so the 747 has better rudder control. Turbulent air is not good for the 747 control surfaces.
why don't they use them anymore?
+Dennis Bouma
because the shuttles were incredible expensive, up to one billion dollars per launch!
not the mention they were extremely dangerous. 14 people died in two accidents.
+Keyboard runner And shuttle isn't on service anymore.
+Keyboard runner they should still fly them in the back of the sca
+Keyboard runner The shuttle was around half a billion dollars, still quite expensive, this is why I can't wait for Dream chaser and Dragon V2. Re-usability is key in a space program.
The shuttle also wasn't very safe because, there is no good LAS or launch abort system. At first, they used ejection seats but after that they didn't not like on capsules where most of them have a launch abort system. A regular rocket is also expensive but the shuttle was more expensive.
how is the SCS carry the space shuttle ??? the space shuttle is so huge and large
3:46 Turboprop 747😂
does anybody know the music name between 0:01 to 0:45, ive been trying to find it for a while
1:15 "ayun oh" hahaha check nyo kun tama ba hinala ko. 🇵🇭 here.
LMAO it does sound like that, doesn't it? baka filiipino family talaga yun haha
I was in elementary school when this happened i thought it was the coolest thing ever
This technology was invented in india in ISRO.
shuttle in aircraft is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕
The shuttles shuttle
Why do only 10 other people like this,
This is actually funny
When the Shuttle Carrier goes to land does the shuttle have to separate and glide down independent of the 747 or can the shuttle carrier land with the shuttle on top of it?
the shuttle carrier lands with the space shuttle ontop of it
