Endeavor in Fort Worth, Texas

I just got back from watching the 747 with the shuttle riding piggyback landing in at Carswell base in Fort Worth, Texas. I work at Lockheed, right across the runway, so it was pretty close and very cool to see.
I'm not sure why it landed here, I haven't seen it come through before.

Unfortunately, no pictures as cameras aren't allowed inside the perimeter fence. But I got to use my binoculars that I keep in my desk for just such an occasion. It definitely was the high point of my day.

OOo, lucky you! You need to get some of those binoculars with a built in camera!

That would be cool, but then I wouldn't be able to bring them into the plant. Something about security and classified data and areas and all that.

hahaha tell them that anything would be too zoomed in to read... But that's pretty cool

I hope you took some mental pictures and engraved them into permanent memory so you can experience it over and over again!
