Runway vid from NYC!

A lucky passenger in a plane about to take off caught this video of
the shuttle on her 747 carrier landing there!

I did some contract work at Manchester UK Airport a number of years
ago and while I was there the biggest plane in the world flew in
and was parked up for a few weeks. It was the Antonov with six
engines. It sure was impressive looking at it through my window
everyday. However, little did I realize that it was the very same
Antonov that carried the Buran shuttle on its back all those years
ago back in the eighties.
As a space enthusiast I would have admired the craft in a whole
different way had I known that it was also a little part of space
history - as well as being the only model of the largest aircraft in
the world.
