OK campers,

What is this . . . the best I could come up with was a mounting point
on the many-tired trailer you occassionally see being used to move
orbiters around. But, why the note indicated which way goes up? I
mean between all the times its been done and the use of in hand
procedures . . . this seems a little silly.

As Damon pointed out, this is on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. Yes, folks
there have a sense of humor.

I believe this photo was taken by our very own Jorge R. Frank. He's
provided several for use in Dennis Jenkin's book Space Shuttle.

I do wonder (and will leave it to Jorge to answer) if this photo is in fact
his, if this photo is in the public domain.

That photo is way too good to be anything I shot. Had to be Kim Keller.
