After bad weather here in Florida on the designated landing days, the Space Shuttle Atlantis had to land in CA at Edwards Air Force base. But since Atlantis and all of the Shuttles live here in Florida, she had to hitch a ride on one of NASA's 747s to bring her home. Quite a sight. Here is a link that describes the travel process to bring a shuttle back to the Kennedy Spacer Center.
