Very sexy, indeed! I believe the tall skids are for protecting the gunners from the jaws of hungry Gators while in the marshes :P

Shay, no -141 to be found!

Man is a Huey ever ugly with high skids.

Yuck!


Thanks for sharing!

Awsome pics of the shuttle. Very cool.

I believe they use the Gulfstream to do shuttle landing simulations.

Isn't that the one that's now withdrawn from use at Moffett?

That's her. I think she last flew in the mid 90's. I wonder what's to become of her.

My Father works at Moffett and said that they still move it around from time to time.

Dad also said NASA still have stuff stored across the field in hanger Two

I believe they deploy the thrust reverses in flight to simulate the shuttles great glide angle."like a brick" :shock:
