Old Stuff - 14

When they moved Discovery to Udvar-Hazy, it was mounted on the back of a 747 and flown from the West Coast.

Upon arrival to the DC area, the plane circled around giving people a view.

On that day, I happened to be on the 7th floor of a building that the shuttle/747 literally circled at eye level at a fairly close distance. We had an amazing view as it flew around the building.
 
really nice tones and textures. the shuttles are pretty cool. i enjoyed seeing discovery in the udvar hazy museum in dc.
Oddly, I was allowed to explore the interior (with one set of NASA handlers ... but I was scolded by a different set of handlers when I put my foot on top of the wheel.
