Space Shuttle Discovery!!!

Amarillo had a special guest today. The shuttle Discovery, riding piggyback on a 747, stopped at Rick Husband International airport in Amarillo today. They refueled en route to it's home in Florida. I was fortunate to have special access via my flight school's hanger to sit right up front and get great pics and video. It was VERY cool indeed. :-)

I couldn't help it. :-)


Jason Boggs is trying to hitch a ride on the shuttle. :-)








This plane ferries the support staff as well as flying ahead to test for weather.










I thought this was kinda funny. :-)
