Scaling Static Ports?.

When it comes to size, It?s all a matter of perspective.

I noticed this static port on the side of one of our ?company? airplanes yesterday and thought ?wow, that?s huge!?

Then I stepped back a little and realized that if you look at it in relation to the whole fuselage, it looks just about like the Van?s pop rivet on the side of an RV!

Is that the same airplane I saw flying approaches at Edwards last week? (I didn't notice the static port from way over here on "rocket ridge"... but then again I could only see the left side of the airplane.

)

Could be...not sure where it has been since it's big day over LA. But then I have no idea what it is doing back here in Houston...

Looks like it is visiting a bunch of warbirds!

Is there more than 1 shuttle transporter?
