The Herc landed and taxied in (all under its own power) whilst I was out on the tarmac in the bomb bay of a P-3 at Edinburgh. No sign of any modification to fit an impromptu nose release....
It has shades of an international competition to build a reusable space vehicle for space tourism. One contender is reportedly designing a rocket powered space-plane that is supposed to be towed to 'launch' altitude behind a 747. Wouldn't that be interesting! I wonder if they would use high or low tow?
