I work at the PRC airport not to far from the PRC VOR navaid.
Shuttle Discovery piggyback on the 747 flew over on its way home. Hard to judge the altitude but looked like they were only at about 2 thousand feet. Kind of cool to see!!!

Interesting. I thought they had quit using the tail fairing for piggyback flights.

Nice pic, it just left Edwards AFB, and heading back to the Cape. This little plane ride is costing NASA/USA taxpayers a cool $1 million.

Yep I was kind of expecting it. Back in 2003 (I think it was 2003) when the shuttle made its last trip from Edwards I saw it overhead, I was hoping and thinking it would make the same route this time. |
