Description

The space shuttle Endeavor hitching a ride to Los Angeles to be put on display. I was fortunate enough to be in the right place and the right time to witness this low-level flyover at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium last September - see my "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" image for details. Enjoy

I caught it leaving Florida, but Californians got the best show as Endeavour took her last piggyback ride. You were in a great spot and got a great shot.

Fabulous. By coincidence I've just finished reading and writing a bit about Rod Serling and his show, Twilight Zone. Your title seems to fit right in with my frame of mind at the moment. I would suppose this is the very last time Endeavor will ever be airborne. An excellent capture.

Fantastic capture. You are right - you were there just at the right moment. I saw the shuttle once in Prescott flying back east. It was relatively low (Prescott is about a mile high) and it was clearly visible, but we were driving on a highway and couldn't stop. This is a fine capture!

What appears to me, like a vapour trail seems to enhance this image even more, giving it almost an eerie feel ... it's GOOD BYE for now, but not the end - of this I am sure, next trip to Mars and back ;)) fine capture Dennis, BB
