I was at the museum last week (uploading pics as we speak) and I was asking some folks there about the shuttle. It seems there are a few obstacles that could be detrimental to getting it here. The closed runway is a non-issue. However, the length of that closed runway is. It's a few hundred feet too short of what's needed to land the transporter. There are a couple options, neither of which is terribly attractive. The first is to lengthen the closed runway. The second is to bring it in at the active base and disassemble, catalog, move, and reassemble piece by piece. The available space for lengthening the runway seems limited, but might be the best option because as newer planes will soon be retired (some to the museum), they will need increased length to land anyway, so the longer runway seems like it would be a wiser investment than disassembling and reassembling an entire space shuttle!
