Great pictures! I saw Enterprise piggybacked on the back of a Boeing fly over my elementary school back around 1978, here in Houston. It was a wonderful sight.

The idea of sticking a shuttle on the back of a plane must have seemed crazy at first. It amazed me that the Shuttle/Boeing combination flies so well together.
