  Description:
  Air to air view of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, atop a Shuttle 
  Carrier Aircraft (SCA) NASA 911, a modified Boeing 747, approaches
  touchdown  for a brief stopover at Ellington Field, near JSC.  Visible
  below the  spacecraft/aircraft combination are the NASA T-38 flight line,
  NASA aircraft  hangars and facilities, and a runway.  OV-105 rolled out at
  Rockwell's  Palmdale facility on 04-25-91 to once more bring to four the
  total of NASA  Shuttles available for flight assignment.  The spacecraft
  and aircraft-tandem  left Houston later on this day headed for another stop
  in Mississippi before  landing in Florida on 05-07-91.  This photograph was
  taken from a T-38  aircraft by Sheri J. Dunnette of JSC's Image Science
  Division (ISD).
