Seen at the Salon

Abstract

Not to be missed at the 1983 Paris Show was the Shuttle Orbiter ‘Enterprise’ mounted on a modified Boeing 747 carrier aircraft. This combination visited Paris as part of a tour on both sides of the Atlantic which demonstrated to a wide public the only practical way to ferry an orbiter and also showed the method by which approach and landing tests had been conducted at the beginning of the Shuttle programme.
