Default Shuttle landing
Hi Guys,
Here's the link to watch the Shuttle land. Click on it then pick your viewer. It's landing about sundown in Florida.

it didn't take long to get from sixty miles out.

I watched it live on CNN. i thought the display was showing 300 kts. but that was FPM descent.

I was out in the plane at Cable airport today and was thinking of flying out to watch it land at Edwards. (actually I wasn't sure what I'd do after I got to Mojave.)

nice landing!!!

I heard the sonic boom when it came over the Pensacola area. I didn't know that's what it was at the time, but it sure got my attention
