Hard to tell!
PS: which Orbiter is that Shuttle? I can't figure out the writings on the fuselage.

Definately the AN-225 Dream, why would you want one of those ugly small 747's when you can fly the beast ;).

Possibly Enterprise?

Go An-225! Russian metal > American metal

The Antonov 225 I got here..  http://www.simviation.com/members/fs2004jets68.htm   ( I think )...

And the other one can be optained...ahem...at another prominent download site.  ;)  look for ' nasa_b747.zip ' in their file library.  (after that, you should get a decent sound system and panel for them to complete the affect ( the Boeing for instance has the default 737 panel and sound  :-? )

The "Space Shuttle" attached to the -225 is the "Buran", the shuttle's soviet counterpart.
It only made one unmanned flight, before the project was cancelled.

Thanks, but I know about Buran, and in facts as you can read elsewhere I'm a Buran fan...

None did crash... but the only one that got in orbit was destroyed in a hangar collapse.

And the An-225 is the better carrier... because the NASA 747 isnt allowed to fly in high wind conditions as it becomes unstable.
