Other works in this series:

Lunar X42[]
The Houston Daily Journal titles about the Lunar Shuttle XR-2300. Lunar X42 is seen on the shuttle near the evacuation slide. Strongly inspired by the Rockwell Space Shuttle.

A Pan Am Boeing 747 taxiing in the night.
Perhaps the same one landing ?

"Made for Movie Shot" or action taken from a Godzila movie (which one ?) ?
As Godzilla seems biting a Space Shuttle (?), probably the first choice.
