Space Shuttle Discovery launching with the sunset reflecting off of the smoke.

Taken on 9/21/12, direct flyover Cheremoya Ave, LA, CA.

The space shuttle Endeavour flew over Houston and landed at Ellington Field on its final flight from Florida to California. Mom went to see it. The shuttle was bolted to a 747 for its flight.

Walking up Prairie Ave. to the Great Western Forum...Do we see something through the trees? Yes!

Flame trench and crawlerway

Nice little thrift store find. The ET and SRBs are plastic and the sharpener is in the base.

Not really pleased with the shots I got, but thrilled to have witnessed the final flight of the Endeavour as it comes to live here in Los Angeles

The Vehicle Assembly Building is 525 feet tall and is where the orbiter, SRBs and external fuel tank are mated prior to being rolled out to the pad. It was originally built and used for Apollo.
