My wife Renee and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary with a trip to Jekyll Island GA and on the way out of our airport we decided to call the NASA tower and see if we could fly down the Shuttle Landing Strip. After a couple of 360's to allow a C130 time to fly out on a North bound we received clearance to fly runway heading 150 at 500AGL. As we turned right base the rain started so was worried about Contour camera mounted to tail, but it survived and we are happy with the video. As we approached the VAB we got a glimpse of the 747 that will carry Discover to the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum next Tuesday. What an opportunity to not only fly down this runway, but to also see the 747 transport. If your close to Central Florida, next Monday will be your last chance to see this beautiful site as she is leaving with Discovery on her back Tuesday morning at 0700.
