Space Shuttle Endeavour

Something I have always wanted to do was to see a live space shuttle launch, well, since they cut the shuttle program I will not see that happen. Dale and I did see a space shuttle fly over our house in San Angelo 11 or 12 years ago. I was headed to Florida after a mission. It was a night so it was really cool to watch it zoom by. By time it passed we went into the house and it was passing by Houston's Johnson Space Center and a few minutes later it landed in Florida. Anyways, today I was lucky enough to see Space Shuttle Endeavour on the back of a 747 fly by my house on it's way to LA. We in Houston are sad that none of the remaining shuttles will be displayed at the Johnson Space Center, got to love politics! I sat in my backyard this morning, in my pajamas and armed with 2 cameras. Every time I heard a plane I would start taking pictures because I wasn't sure how low the plane would be flying or if I could even tell it was it. After photographing 3 different planes, I heard a loud noise and looked up and sure enough it was the 747 carrying the shuttle. I was so excited that I was able to see it and get pictures.
