As for SCA 905.. She will fly back to Dryden in California and join her sister SCA, SCA 911, in retirement and a parts donor to NASA's Sophia program.

I was thinking it was going to be housed in the UA hanger. My parents both work for United and they said it was a pretty big deal for it to be housed there. My mom actually flew into LAX last night for work, but she wasn't able to get any pictures of the shuttle......
My girlfriend and I might head down to SoCal to see the shuttle heading to the Space and Science Center, so I'll be sure to get some good pics.....with a DSLR this time!
