Very good OCU!!

It came over Sacto, the SF Bay Area this morning, made several loops and low over the Golden Gate Bridge, thousands went out to catch it, and the fog lifted just in time, about 10:15, it made one real low, 500' pass over Moffet, a lot of folks in the area worked on it, the tiles... A final farewell... Lots of teary farewells...

Endeavor, the last Space Shuttle to be airborne was given a tour of SoCal this afternoon with a fly-by that was seen by millions. I managed to get this photo about a block from Disneyland where NASA did a flyover at about 250 knots and 1,500 feet. I was on a residential street about a block from Disneyland and managed to get 6 photos on the single pass that they made over the park (this was the best image):

After this pass the plane turned toward LAX where it landed a few minutes later. Later in October, the Shuttle will be moved to its new permanent home at the LA Science Center.
