Atlantis goes piggy back to FL!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Atlantis hitching a ride lovers! I just love stuff like this. I always get all cold chilly! This is a video from YouTube of the space shuttle going piggy back on a modified Boeing 747 from Edwards Air Force Base to Kennedy Space Center in FL. The mission takes several days due to re-fueling stops.
I follow NASA via twitter and you get up to the second updates at times. I also follow a few astronauts which is totally pawesome!
Check out that fighter jet that is following. I bet that was a cool flight.
Anyway, this is about 10 minutes long so you can fast forward through it if you like. The mission has landed in El Paso and will spend the night.
More Moving Forward Later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Hi Cat,
That video was fun to watch. Almost 20 years ago, I was an engineer working at Eglin AFB in Fl. It’s in the panhandle by Ft Walton Beach. The Kennedy Center was cloudy and rainy, so they landed at Eglin. It was truly awe-inspiring. And the bldg I worked out of had a great view of the landing strip. I still remember that as a highlight while I worked there.
