Maybe we can arrange a Space Shuttle flyover for the 2022 Detroit Olympics!

I have said often that they should put one of the shuttles on a many city tour of America population centers. I've seen it aboard its 747 and it's quite a sight!

I would have it do a fly-over and then land at the nearest airport that can handle the combo. People would flock to see it. Might even be possible to find a sponsor for the event in each area it visits.

We desperately need something to buoy our spirits. I can think of few things that would do more to make Americans proud of who we are and what we've accomplished in this ol’ world than being to have a close up look at a real shuttle that has performed so remarkably.

Somehow, I don't see this happening under Team Zero.
