It's on display at Johnson Space Center in Houston along with the Space Shuttle trainer riding on it's back.

One of them is now at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, saw it last week as a matter of fact, they have an amazing exhibition where you can go inside both the shuttle and 747!

Yep, this worked out nicely for Houston. We were rather upset that Houston lost out on one of the original Orbiters and given this mockup trainer as a consolation prize of sorts by the folks at NASA. So we made Lemon-aide out of Lemons, not too shabby, imo. Unlike the original shuttles, both craft are completely accessible to the public, interactive and worth the visit.

You guys have a full Saturn V, which is way cooler. Let others have a slice of the pie as well
