Any ideas on Orion shuttles operated by other carriers such as Qantas, Lufthansa,
BA, Air France, and others?
How about the Russian and Chinese shuttles?

I have seen models built as they were being used by Quantas, Braniff International(With the Two Tone Green Paint Job) and of course Pan AM. I myself tried years ago to make on in the old Continetal Airlines scheme where the area that the PAn Am emblem is had the old Continetal Airlines logo over a strip of gold.

You can see it on the tail of the 707 here.

Which other companies would also operate Orions?
Besides the German and French orbital nukes, we almost had an Italian one as the Italians flirted with a proposed national atomic program as part of NATO and their booster was to have been called the Alfa to be operated by the Italian Navy, even going as to far as to modify the cruiser Vittorio Veneto to carry silos!
