This is one of NASA's two Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA). It has been on display on Independence Plaza at the Space Center Houston since 30 April 2014. Sitting on its back is Independence, which is not a real Space Shuttle, but merely an accurate full-scale replica. There never was a flying Shuttle Independence.
