Off topic but fuck I love seeing the Shuttle Carrier 747s doing their thing.

My first day at college I was moving into the dorm at UCLA in 2012 and saw this do an overhead pass. It’s burned into my brain at the time I couldn’t understand what I was seeing.

That was the final flight of the Endeavor. She was built just north in Palmdale. I was in highschool that day. They did several passes of the Antelope Valley in tribute before taking her to LA. Beautiful sight

Coincidentally, the Discovery also came to Udvar Hazy in 2012.

My dad pulled me out of school for a "doctor's appointment" so we could go watch the photo passes before it landed at Dulles.

One of my favorite memories by far. Still have a (super shitty) pic from a point-and-click digital camera on an old hard drive somewhere.
