Test crews from the last captive-active flight pose in front of Enterprise (OV-101) and 747 SCA. In the second photo (Left to right): Fitzhugh Fulton (SCA Commander), Gordon Fullerton (OV-101 Pilot), Victor Horton (SCA Flight Engineer), Fred Haise (OV-101 Commander), Vincent Alvarez (SCA flight engineer) and Thomas McMurtry (SCA co-pilot).
Note: that Enterprise’s landing gear is down to check clearance onboard the 747 SCA.“It was lowered on final approach to simulate the actual landing procedure. We also see the two-armed crane used to allow the crew to access Enterprise’s flight deck through the hatch that is open on the side of its fuselage.”
