Idea Stopover bases for transporting shuttle from Edwards to KSC.

[aries197012]

Some bases to make stopovers when transporting the Shuttle from Edwards to KSC on the SCA.

I think STS-128 used:
Lackland, Texas.
Fort Worth, Texas.
Barksdale, Louisiana.

Almost correct. The first stop-over for refueling was Rick D. Husband Int'l Airport, Amarillo, TX.

Can it be that the bases are chosen by NASA affiliation?

I thought the name "Rick Husband" sounded familiar.
