Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 2566231, member: 34"] All my trips out to Edwards were post space shuttle. They still have all the towers and runways and stuff. So, when we were at Kennedy Space Center we worked on the big square pavement below and worked out of the building to the right of the white jet. As you can see the parking lot is relatively small and right next to the building. But, you better believe there were signs with reserved spots for Mission Commanders, then Pilot and finally Space Shuttle Crew. There is still a pecking order. The spot on the top center of the picture where the pavement is a bit more white and sticks out is the spot where they would have recovered the 747 and pulled the space shuttle off the top. You can see the extension on the pavement where the nose of the 747 would go. If you look carefully there are three towers that can be configured with cranes to remove the shuttle.
