The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) are two extensively modified Boeing 747 airliners that NASA used to transport Space Shuttle orbiters. One is a 747-100 model, while the other is a short-range 747-100SR.
The SCAs were used to ferry Space Shuttles from landing sites back to the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center. The orbiters were placed on top of the SCAs by Mate-Demate Devices, large gantry-like structures that hoisted the orbiters off the ground for post-flight servicing then mated them with the SCAs for ferry flights.
In approach and landing test flights conducted in 1977, the test shuttle Enterprise was released from an SCA during flight and glided to a landing under its own control.

I spent 7days to complete this and fix some issues when I first test it. This caused me so stress when I found out the problem, It turns out you have pinned down the right coordinates, or else a large portion of the plugin will be cut.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO THIS GUY for introduces me to SketchUp.

It really helps a lot kill some time.
This is what my folder has become.
I have more actually but I already deleted them.
I made this plugin accurate as possible, add details as possible, I research a lot, and endure heat here in the Philippine hot Summer.

Post it in Plug-in Discussion, unless you have the download link here.
I posted a similar one, and my plugin was moved to Plug-In Discussion.
