"NASA chose the Museum of Flight to be the recipient of the full-size trainer used by all space shuttle astronauts at the facility in Houston," says Cook. "The size of the trainer meant it needed to be moved by one of the largest transport craft available, the Aero Spacelines B-377-SG/SGT Super Guppy. It took three separate flights to deliver all the components."
