Originally delivered to American Airlines as N9668 on 29 October 1970, it was purchased by NASA on 18 July 1974 and converted into Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905 (SCA-905). On 18 February 1977, N905NA conducted the first captive flight carrying Space Shuttle orbiter Enterprise (OV-101) from Dryden Flight Research Center — the beginning of the Approach and Landing Test (ALT) programme that proved the shuttle's glide-and-land capability. Over its NASA career, SCA-905 carried all five orbiters at various points. The aircraft was retired in October 2012 and preserved at Space Center Houston.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 747 carrier wears the distinctive NASA SCA two-tone scheme: dark blue-grey upper fuselage and a light silver-grey lower fuselage, separated by a horizontal stripe sequence of white, red, and blue. \"NASA\" appears in bold red letters on the vertical stabilizer with \"905\" below it; registration \"N905NA\" sits on the aft lower fuselage. Three white mounting pylons connect the orbiter to the 747's upper fuselage. Enterprise (OV-101) is painted white with black nose cone, black thermal-protection leading edges, and \"NASA\" in block letters on the fuselage with \"United States\" beneath it; \"Enterprise\" is visible in black serif font below the cockpit, and \"USA\" appears on the left wing upper surface. The display stand base is engraved \"BOEING 747 123 \/ Space Shuttle Carrier \/ N905NA \/ SCALE 1:400.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craft \u0026amp; Collectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePatriot PT400023 presents the SCA-905 and Enterprise combination as a single 1:400 diecast set — the configuration flown on all five 1977 ALT free-flight tests. OV-101 never flew in space; it was built solely as an atmospheric test vehicle. This makes the piggyback configuration the primary — and historically complete — display state for Enterprise, and N905NA the only carrier it ever flew with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN905NA (SCA-905) \/ OV-101 (Enterprise)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoeing 747-123 with Space Shuttle Orbiter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20107\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePT400023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure you receive a flawless model, we perform a mandatory physical inspection on every item before shipment.
