[i]For the first time ever, NASA's two highly modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft briefly flew in formation over the Edwards Air Force Base test range on Aug. 2, 2011. Both aircraft were scheduled to be in the air on the same day, NASA 911 (foreground) on a flight crew proficiency flight, NASA 905 (rear) on a functional check flight following maintenance operations. The aircraft flew in formation for about 20 minutes while NASA photographer Carla Thomas captured still and video imagery of the formation flight from a NASA Dryden F/A-18.[/i]
