shuttle me this...

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

Here are some more... these focus primarily on the shuttle itself... some beautiful shots... crystal clear... I had the opportunity to view the shuttle returning to Florida, from a California landing, piggy-bak on a custom 747.. as you see in one of the shots below.  We were flying from California, and the pilot of our plane announced over the loudspeaker, that we were flying over the returning shuttle.  He tilted the plane, and said, if you look out the left side of the plane...

and there it was... waaay cool.

How cool is that? I have never seen a shuttle launch or a shuttle in person period, but I would really like to.

Home is where the hearth is.

Caren - from my universe to yours!

Zane - I believe the 747 has been dramatically modified.

Dude....where do you get these?  Next step is for you to go up there and take the pics yourself.  Just awesome.  I'm truly fascinated.

Larry - these were supplied to me by a colleague, whose friend (or relative... I can't remember which) works for NASA as an electrician (or engineer... I should really pay closer attention).  He has access to tons of these... I've asked her for more... but this is all I have at the moment.

I agree, they are awe inspiring.
