Space Shuttle In Amarillo, Texas

Since I've been away from here for a couple of months, I'll make up for it with a few shots I took a few weeks ago here in Amarillo

About a month ago, after the Space Shuttle Discovery had landed in California due to bad weather in Florida, it began it's return trip home on the back of a modified Boeing 747. Being the aviation and space geek that I am, I had found out the night before that it was going to be making a stop here in Amarillo along it's path. My wife and I traveled out to the airport where I work, set up a couple of chairs, and watched the shuttle land, refuel, and take off in the span of about 3 hours. NASA had stopped here a couple of years ago, and I did make it out to the airport to see that, but I had nowhere near the camera equipment I do now.

So, without further to say, these are a few of the pictures that I took that day:






















If you'd like to see the full size pictures, just click on the image, and then "all sizes."

Those are really great. It's interesting to see the size of the shuttle compared to the 747.
