Background

John Eaves planned to name this shuttle after the United States Air Force General William J. Fox. An airfield^WP located in Lancaster^WP, California^WP is named after this general. However, as Eaves worked on the painting, he received news that his friend Robert McCall^WP had died. Robert McCall had worked as an artist on the film 2001: A Space Odyssey^WP and was hired by the Smithsonian^WP to create murals which illustrated the history of NASA^WP. After learning about his friend's death, Eaves placed a call to Doug Drexler asking him if the shuttle's name could be changed. Drexler gave his consent and the name was changed. Eaves described this shuttlecraft as a fighter that was assigned to the Enterprise soon after the events in Star Trek: Nemesis. [1]
