Fantastic! Where were you standing to catch this angle? I was out near Dulles Airport. It flew right overhead of me.

Great capture and thanks for sharing. Such a piece of history, coming to an end. Kind of sad actually having been born in the 60's and growing up with history as it's being made. I actually hope they don't restore it...seeing the space tarnish gives it validity, likes wrinkles on people show experience and life. Glad you got to see it and capture it!

Excellent ! Mine turned out like crap. I got stuck in traffic on the GW Parkway and couldn't make to where I needed to be. Only got some far away shots.
