I know Hoot Gibson flew in all but Discovery but did any astronaut fly
in all of them?

Thanks

Story Musgrave I believe is the only one:
STS-6 Challenger
STS-51F Challenger
STS-33 Discovery
STS-44 Atlantis
STS-61 Endeavour
STS-80 Columbia

Jim Wetherbee is the only astronaut to be at the controls to land 4
different orbiters (all but Challenger)

Well some of us would argue there were 6 shuttles. :-)

Granted only 5 flew into space....

Wonder if Story will get astronaut job with one of the new private
firms.

At the controls today Story Musgrave, makes for good PR:)

A few astronauts flew on all but one. From memory Dan Brandenstein and
Bonnie Dunbar flew on all except Atlantis. While Jeff Hoffman and Ken
Cockrell have flown on all except Challenger.
