The Endeavour

Last week we had the honor of seeing the Endeavour space shuttle fly over the base.  The kids were in school but Troy and I took Emree to see it.  I took my good camera and was able to get some great pictures.  The kids were sad they missed seeing it but the pictures made up for it.
This was the first view of the space shuttle flying over.  It was awesome to see everyone's reaction. 

I like this picture because it gives a good perspective of how  LOW the plane was flying.   It was only  1500 feet above the ground. 

A good view of the shuttle attached to a 747.  Incredible! 

The plane/shuttle was escorted by a fighter jet.  When we first saw them flying over I only saw the jet and was a little disappointed until I saw the real thing.
