This Day In Aircraft History
April 12, 1981
The Space Shuttle Comunbia, is launched on mission STS-1.
Columbia was the second shuttle constructed, but the first to launch on a mission. It was also the only shuttle to launch with a painted external fuel tank. Subsequent external fuel tanks went without to save weight.
