Shuttle Endeavour's final flight to Los Angeles. It did a fly-over over my work (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) at 1500 feet.

Nice catch. It wasn't supposed to come near my house, so naturally I wasn't home when it did!

Funny you posted those shots. I captured this image as they flew over the Bay Area and was thinking about posting it. The thing is, I had a P&S and took the pictures from inside the building (through a tinted window). So, IQ sucks. The pictures are only good because they document a historic fact.

Interesting perspective in the first shot. Makes it look as if the shuttle is separating (or maybe landing).
Gotta be real fun to land that combo! brian |

I think I heard in an interview that the shuttle is placed at that angle to provide additional lift to the 747, given the weight of the combo.

Incredible photos! Mine were lousy, too much haze. But these are awesome!
