Looking out the window.
I'm looking out my office window at the shuttle right now. It's about 300 yards away. Pretty cool.

There are several different potential plans for the departure tomorrow (including NOT departing tomorrow), so I hate to steer anyone into believing that if they go out there at a certain time, that they'll see it go. This should be familiar to every RV'ator - when the trip depends on VFR weather, you have to stay flexible, and roll with the weather!
Any time between sunrise and noon is possible....

We knew when it was departing SoCAL by looking on the NASA Shuttle Mission web site.
My suggestion is to keep an eye on their web site.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/
At the present time, it says what 'Ironflight' is saying.

Way back when
A long, long time ago I came home from work and my Dad said the Shuttle is at Denver's Stapleton Airport and that I had to go and see it. He threw me the keys to his 240Z and off I went to see Enterprise parked atop a 747. What an awesome site to see. I will never forget that night.

Anyone in DFW for 11 DEC 2008 morning
I heard that the Space Shuttle is making a stop in the DFW area.
"The aircraft is scheduled to stay overnight at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth and then leave Thursday at sunrise."
Now I'm way down here in Killeen, so won't be able to see this...but may be of interest to anyone in DFW area. Don't know of the feasibility (or any TFRs), but could provide an interesting and once in a life time air-to-air photo shoots.
I'm just jealous it didn't land down here at GRK!!

I just heard "1100am at the earliest" on the 6am news. Winds from the north today, so park north of 820 somewhere. if you want to (maybe) see it fly over..
