    D-2600 was eventually replaced by a Focke-Wulf Fw 200, which acquired the same registration.

    Those do not stay open long, so wonder if this was staged, especially since it looks like a near simultaneous AIM-120 and 2 AIM-9 launches.

    ((The inspiration for this post is the space shuttle carrier on display at the visitor center for NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

    It is number 905 and the first of two shuttle carrier aircraft.

    Can you imagine the conversation?

    "We need to be able to test the shuttle's ability to glide home for a landing. We also need to transport the space shuttle around the country. How are we going to do that? We're all out of ideas. We can't fly it. We can't tow it behind a truck. We can't put it on a train."

    Two guys from the back row: "How about flying it piggyback on top of a 747? We could build a model to try it out."

    And they did...

    John Kiker and Owen Morris built a 1/40-scale radio-controlled model of the Space Shuttle on top of a Boeing 747 to prove that the configuration was viable. The model is on display at the visitor center.))

    You can see the two windscreens just behind the big DF antenna. At least you can on a PC monitor.

    This is very cool. One of my favorite plane designs of all time.
