Endeavour

TODAY THE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR, RIDING ON A HUGE
747 AIRPLANE, MADE A LOW FLYING APPEARANCE AT
MY WORK (THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA) AROUND 
NOON ON ITS WAY TO BEING RETIRED IN A MUSEUM.

THIS IS A PIC THAT OUR I.T. GUY TOOK AND BELOW I CROPPED 
IT SO YOU CAN SEE THE ACTUAL SHUTTLE BETTER.

THIS ARTICLE FROM THE L.A. TIMES STATES THAT:

 "THE TUCSON FLYOVER WAS ADDED TO THE ROUTE TO 
HONOR FORMER REP. GABRIELLE GIFFORDS, WHOSE
HUSBAND, MARK KELLY, COMMANDED ENDEAVOUR'S
FINAL MISSION LAST YEAR.  KELLY REQUESTED THE
FLYOVER, NASA CONFIRMED."

WHAT A THRILL !!!  I WAS DRIVING TO A SITE VISIT 
AT THE TIME AND ME AND ERNIE SAW IT RIGHT 
ABOVE OUR HOUSE BUT JUST FOR A SECOND.

TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING !!!  I ♥ NASA !!!
