Gee, that’s a real shame.
Good thing it wasn’t given to the Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, where it would have been displayed in a place of honor in a new hangar that was being built especially for that purpose completely through donations. Dayton is, of course the home of the Wright Brothers and Wright-Patterson AFB.
And where viewing is FREE. All of the locations that were given shuttles, charge for viewing.
Two ended up on the East Coast, one on the west coast. We got none, same as Houston.
However, we have been given and it is already inside where it won’t be DAMAGED, the CCT, Crew Compartment Trainer, so that will be a wonderful FREE Hands-on display in a very short time.
