Udvar-Hazy Center expansion of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum can claim that honor. though never actually having orbited the Earth, the Enterprise could have been easily equipped for spaceflight, and was used in glide tests for future landings by the other American shuttles. here's the site: http://www.nasm.si.edu/udvarhazy/ http://collections.nasm.si.edu/code/emuseum.asp?profile=objects&newstyle=single&quicksearch=A19860004000 and some images: http://www.nasm.si.edu/imagedetail.cfm?imageID=987 http://collections.nasm.si.edu/media/full/A19860004000D.JPG actually, the article got one thing wrong: Buran is NOT the first space shuttle on display. the shuttle orbiter Enterprise, displayed at the new Stephen F.
