National Air and Space Museum
Aerial Aircraft Carriers
November 23, 1981 – November 18, 1984
On view in this small exhibition are photographs and a film telling the story of aircraft (mother-ships) that carry other aircraft (parasites). A prime example is the Space Shuttle traveling cross-country perched atop a 747. Also on view is a model of a mythical aerial aircraft carrier complete with living facilities (including a church).
