Anybody have any insight on if this space shuttle Columbia tile appears to actually have been flown? Thanks! |

Looks like it flew on Mission 61-C in Jan. 1986, right before the Challenger tragedy later that same month and year; an AFT heat tile from the 7th flight of OV-102 of the 24th shuttle flight since 1981. |

If you have an interest in a flown tile with paperwork there is one for sale here. |
