An interesting report from one of the 747 SCA pilots carrying Atlantis showed up on the net at http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/showthread.php?p=433669

I wanted to make sure that this was legit, so I contacted the PAO officer I correspond with at Dryden, Alan Brown (Jim knows him well), and asked about it. This is what he wrote back:
"The pilot who identifies himself as "Triple Nickel" is a Johnson Space Center pilot who was indeed the left-seater on the fourth leg of the ferry flight of Atlantis to KSC — I checked the flight manifest. He is relatively new as the pilot-in-command of the 747 SCA, and that may have been his first flight with the shuttle on top. I understand he has plenty of 747 and heavy transport experience, so his comments in his blog about the flight reflect his minimal experience in the SCA."
