Our man in MSY is correct! I believe "NASA 905" (N905NA) is a B747-123.

BTW, my first 747 ride ever was back in 1971 on an AA B747-123 from SFO to ORD. And there was actually a little piano bar in the back of the coach section of the airplane.

Any guesses concerning the chase aircraft that accompanied NASA 905 and "Discovery" yesterday?
