The peregrinations of N905NA in the Edwards -> KSC direction are chronicled
in the daily Shuttle Status Reports, but the return flights are not. Since
SCA is based at Edwards, am I right in assuming that it zooms back west as 
soon as it's dumped its cargo? (I've been trying to compile a flight log of the
SCA..) Also, how does the orbiter tailcone get home??
