40 Years In The Deserr: Phantom Ray Photo Pr0n

Sunday, December 19, 2010

Boeing's Phantom Ray was flownb toi Edwards AFB on the back of the 747 that was used to carry the Space Shuttle.

They did this, as opposed to breaking it down and shipping it via truck or inside an aircraft, because it was not designed with a wing break at the attachment, which makes disassembly and reassambly a rather non-trivial operation.
