Yep, looks like it's rigged to transport stanflex modules. Still looks cool though and would make a fun story, ie harbour defence tug  ;D

Pan Am 747SP Clipper Freeedom next to Pan Am 707 Clipper Norwester.

This was shot at Seattle-Tacoma International. N533PA Clipper Freedom was the first 747SP to be delivered to Pan Am. Immediately after handover at the Everett factory, the aircraft was ferried to Sea-Tac to take aboard a load of cargo for shipment to New York. The brand new SP dwarfs the 707-321B Clipper Norwester. Boeing Company Photo — with Brian Baum at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac).

You see that level of force coming at you and you hope they are friendly.

Well, there's an idea for a build - two Space Shuttles (or other spacecraft) decked out in drag racing colourful schemes...

One Space Shuttle and one fully-operational Buran?  Perhaps in Pan Am and Aeroflot markings respectively?

On this day in 1965 (June 3rd) astronaut Ed White would become the first American to walk in space. This would take place on the Gemini 4 Mission. The mission commander Jim McDivitt would recall, “It sure was lonely in there when he got out.”
