Space Shuttle Columbia
This is the Space Shuttle Columbia after its very first flight in April of 1981. It has just arrived at Tinker AFB, Okla. on its way back to the kennedy Space Center. I remember that day very well. I was lucky because the shuttle was supposed to come through about a week earlier, and if it had I would've missed it because I was on an overseas deployment until two days before I took these pictures. It was estimated that 200,000 people through the base that day to see it.
