Funny thing: I'm about to do a launch sequence in my comic strip based on the Aeroflot shuttle from 2001. In the background in the Hilton Hotel sequence on Space Station V is an Aeroflot booth, that was complete with a model of the Russian version of the Orion III shuttle.
I think in the book they called it the Titov V Spaceplane, and a couple of vinyl models have been made of it.
In my comic, one of the characters is flying to China (part of an espionage/dystopia story) so, she'll be flying on a Titov V, dropped by an An-225 cargo plane (Like the X-15 was) all in "Air China" livery.
These look Great!

So, many thanks for putting up the pictures!

Your story sounds brilliant, Scott. I love all the subtle references. You'll have to put a link up when it's finished.
