Description: Discovery's first flight on the carrier was from Edwards AFB to Vandenberg AFB. While there the Air Force towed the two aircraft with a new tow tractor designed to move them into the Orbiter Lifting Facility (OLF) and to check clearance between the 747 wingtip and the hangar immediately adjacent to the OLF. (See newspaper The Lompoc Record, 10 Nov 1983, page A10)
