A once-in-a-lifetime sight at Washington Dulles International Airport in 1986 NASA’s Space Shuttle Enterprise riding atop the modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) with the legendary Concorde soaring overhead. This historic moment brought together three engineering marvels — the supersonic elegance of Concorde, the reusable space ambitions of the Shuttle, and the 747’s unmatched carrying power. A true celebration of human ingenuity and the golden era of aerospace innovation.
