More likely scenario is Airbus fly high with Space Shuttle, roll over, and both crash.
And what, pray tell, is a swivel wing? I've seen of swing wings, like on MiG-23 and Tornado, I've seen delta wings like on a Mirage III and V or an F-102. I never heard of a "swivel wing."

A shuttle can be released in the air from the top of an airplane, no need to flip upside down. It was done with the Space Shuttles during glide tests from the top of the 747 transporter. The problem is that loading the shuttle on top is an expensive hassle whereas a new design would be able to just roll over it and pick it up.
