Default Air Force C-141A

This photograph shows the Air Force C-141A that was used in the Eclipse
project as a tow vehicle. The project used a QF-106 interceptor aircraft to
simulate a future orbiter, which would be towed to a high altitude and
released to fire its own engines and carry a payload into space.
