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.

Holy crap!!

I think that was Challenger going out to the pad that day, if I'm remembering right.

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 went out to see it, thinking it would be like the usual jet flying over to TIA, and then this Huge. White. THING rolled over the mountain. I had a full side view. It was maybe 6000 feet up.

From the looks of the photos that are being posted, I was at the best possible angle and altitude. Naturally I didn't have the camera. But I do like that I got it over the barn roof. :)
