30 years ago today, two of my siblings and I went down to Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California to watch Endeavour land after completing her maiden shuttle flight, STS-49.
I was in 6th grade at the time, and unfortunately, I didn't have a DSLR camera with a nice telephoto lens to get a better shot of the brand-new orbiter touching down on the runway in the Mojave Desert. But I'm just grateful that I was in position to take the image above!
This October will mark 10 years since I went to Westchester, a city near Los Angeles International Airport, to view Endeavour up-close as she began her 3-day journey through the streets of L.A. to her final home at the California Science Center. Hail Endeavour!
