[i]Senior pilot F. Fulton of the Dryden Flight Research Facility is the pilot of the 747 ... Immediately following the takeoff of the 747 with the Challenger on top, pilot Fulton will circle the area moving over the general viewing sight on the east side of the lake, then come from my left to right over the lake, dip the wings in a Presidential salute, and then fly to the Johnson Space Center at Ellington Air Force Base in Texas. Following an overnight stop, and a very gala reception for the STS-4 crew, the Challenger atop the 747 will depart tomorrow morning for the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Then on July 15th or 16, the Columbia will be mated to the 747 and it will depart for the Kennedy Space Center with a midpoint stop at Dias Air Force Base.[/i]
