If you want someone to go with, hit me up and I'll go with you. I'd like to see it, too. I'm just across the river in MD, about 1/2 hr. to 45 min. from Dulles. I'll just have to get the address of the place for my GPS. As long as it's on a weekend, so I don't have to worry about work. :(

Those are some awesome photos. Piece of history right there.

I have seen the SCA pass by before (I live close to Barksdale AFB), but I never noticed that drag reducing prosthetic that they put over the jet nozzles on the shuttle while it's being transported.

I lived near Daytona and was able to see most of the shuttle launches. WOW! Regrettably, I saw The Challenger launch. These brave people and this program make you very proud to be an American. Great photos. Thank you very much.

And how about that double boom on re-entry. Fabulous.

The Double BOOM on re-entry was always music to my ears, That friends of mine were coming home.......................

Mine too. As I watched each launch I'd poor on the prayers for a safe voyage. That double boom was the answer to those prayers. Praise God!

Thanks for the great pics....and another reminder that Houston is lacking a shuttle.

Thanks to all for the nice comments on the photos. If you would like, when I get a chance I will post some more Launch and ladings.
