I remember when Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon in 1969. Our TV had died and we had to run to a friend’s house to watch it. I remember the first shuttle launch in 1981. I was watching when we lost the Challenger and now I’ve seen Endeavor airborne for the last time. Endeavor was riding atop a 747, and they did a slow flyover of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was magnificent.
These photos aren’t perfect, but I don’t care. I was there and I got to see it! Lastech deserves extra thanks for the trip to see it. He didn’t get near enough sleep and had to go to work this afternoon. I married a heckuva guy.
Beautiful!!
it is thrilling to see this. i remember the time it buzzed downtown san antonio, wow, that was great. so happy you got to see and photograph this!
I’ve been allowed (by luck and by design) to see a few interesting bits of history. I remember mom and I were on our way to San Diego for a Dr visit. She whipped off the freeway and we raced to a mall in El Cajon to watch Nixon give his resignation speech. It was the TV department in Sears. My folks made sure that I was aware that some things are too important to miss or ignore. This was one of them. I’m very glad that Lastech was able to take me to see it.
