I Saw Her!

The 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.

She was gorgeous. And now I've seen Atlantis on the pad, and Iforgetwhich on its way to the pad, and Endeavour on her way out to pasture.

I told you about the time the shuttle flew directly over my house for a night landing at Kennedy Space Center, yes? It was Atlantis, IIRC, and I couldn't see it at all, but the sonic boom shook the whole house.

Right. Sniffly now. Must grab Kleenex.

I remember that. Wow.
