When you have to fly from a base to another, the ferry travels mounted on a Boeing 747.But it is not a simple process: as most of the technicians who oversee the operation works ele the shuttle in Florida, many have to move to the Edwards base in California, to assist in the relocation.
Although it involved 200 people, very few accompanying the ship on its flight for security reasons-their fuel tanks still harbor and fled-toxic, and the pilots who manned the aircraft it as a rather thorny task.
NASA has two 747 for this purpose.
