#3262 - $11.75 Express Shuttle Piggy-Back

When weather conditions were right, NASA landed its Space Shuttle orbiters at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. However, if thunderstorms or other poor weather was threatening, the orbiters were usually diverted to Edwards Air Force Base in California. To ferry the shuttle back to Florida, it was mounted piggy-back on top of a 747 jet and flown to Florida. This Express Mail stamp shows the 747 and shuttle about to take off from its landing site in California. Scott 3262 $11.75 Express Shuttle Piggy-Back
