dancinghorseThe shuttle flew right over us! Stupidiot did not realize it was going to fly directly over the Rincons, or that it would be so large or so clear, so I didn't have the camera for the splendid sight of the white bird over the mountain (which I will never forget). But I managed to catch it over the barn roof as it flew slowly toward the city:
And another, more distant shot with the Santa Catalinas in the background:
Damn, screen is blurry. Better go fix it.

When the Enterprise flew in to NYC this spring to live on the Intrepid, I happened to be driving up the FDR just as it flew over the Triboro Bridge. Stunning. You got the better view, though!!

I gather they flew her low over Tucson just for Gabby. Oh, America.
