Enterprise makes its 5th and final test flight 1977


The Space Shuttle Enterprise made her fifth and final successful flight October 26, 1977.  She was piloted by Fred Haise (Apollo 13) and Gordon Fullerton (STS-3, STS-51-F).  She also landed on the concrete runway at Edwards AFB instead of a dry lakebed runway.

Her successful missions paved the way for future space shuttle missions.
