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.

There were people on the top level of the parking lot here at work, most of them expecting it to come in from the southeast. So when it popped over the Rincons they all scuttled to the north end to watch it cross the city about a mile north of us -- and then swoop south to pass over the UA Mall.

Yes, I was looking toward White Sands, looking for a little white dot, and holy CRAP, Batman. They sure did stage -that- entrance for maximum effect. It came directly over the peak from my vantage.
