standing out in the backyard and heard a loud roar look up the shuttle flew over riding on top of the escort airplane. it was so close u could see the pilots in the plane. didnt grab the camera in time but got some pics of it about too land that was COOOOL!!!
 
thanks here is shuttle lifting off this is wut it looks like.. I had the camera ZOOMED all the way in...the vehicle assembly building in the 1st pic yhere can b seen in the 2nd one just left of the smoke
 
I have seen it piggy backed and low twice, once in my yard and once with a friend. It was very cool. This was landing at WRAFB, Ga. on it's way back to FL.

That had to be to cool =P~:cheers:
I had to see it on tv with :angry7:a fighter jet next to it leaving California.
Thank you for sharing ryan426.:-D
 
They say it cost's 2,000,000 to get her from CA. to FL. :shock:

I have seen it lift off once, that was cool...
 
When I was a kid my Dad took us to watch one of the Apollo missions launch. Watching and feeling that Saturn V rocket lift off was one of the coolest experiences of my young life............the Daytona 500 was cool too!
 
I remember seeing a Saturn V launch from Daytona Beach. It might have been an Apollo or Skylab, but I don't remember. You could feel it from 90 miles away.
 
Yes very cool but way to many $$$$$$$$$$$. I know it had to be done that way but with the rest of the economy in the dumps how can we justify shelling out trillions of dollars to fly into space.

This still has to be one of the coolest things to see as close as you are Ryan. :cheers: Can you feel it from there?
 
Whenever I hear some SOB foreigner dogging on America, I wish I had a picture of the shuttle to show them, " See this,...It's a SPACE SHIP, your country got one ?..... Didn't think so, you SUCK!"

You must have been hanging out down there when I was. I remember watching a night launch of apollo, just like daylight. I also went to Daytona back in the day and have some pictures of them running the Firecracker 400 in 67. One of these days I'll have to scan them in and post them.

Who says we can't do technology!? I bet that is really cool to see, may be the last one, they are going to more efficent ways I guess. Very cool to witness history.
