Notes

With the delivery of Endeavour to Los Angeles in September 2012 and the conclusion of Shuttle ferry flights, both aircraft were retired from service. SCA aircraft N911NA was set aside to provide spare parts for NASA's SOFIA program. The other aircraft, N905NA, was transferred to Space Center Houston to become part of the static exhibit at Independence Plaza.
