Space Shuttle Endeavour

There are many great things about living in the Antelope Valley, but one of the best flew over piggy backed on a 747 this morning.

The Endeavour Space Shuttle took off from Edwards Air Force Base for its last flight this morning. It is on its way to Los Angeles to land permanently. It will transported after a couple of weeks to the California Science Museum.

It is the end of an era.

With the chase plane against the mountains you can see the beautiful clear blue skies we have in the high desert. Another great reason to live in the AV.

After leaving the AV the Endeavour was headed to Northern California before returning to the Los Angeles area and landing sometime after 12:30.

There were lots of people lined up to see the last flight.  Along Sierra Hwy with Lockheed Martin in the background.

I love my GG (the husband) who called to remind me or I would have missed this historic event.

Stitch at you Soon,
