I would have have loved to have seen it. I guess Willow Creek was to far north for it’s route.

Saw it as it flew over The Queen Mary. Unfortunately the cruise ship blocked the approach, but still an awesome sight.
It was flying low enough to clearly make out the tiles on the shuttle.
"American Exceptionalism"....are we still allowed to say that?

Agree, that is a spectacular outrage. TX should have got the Enterprise, not NY.

Someone standing next to me on board The Queen Mary was very moved......"I'm standing here on a piece of history watching another piece of history." he remarked.
What a great idea it was to have Endeavour fly over so many landmarks.
There were a lot of kids watching where I was. Who knows how many of them will be inspired to seek a career in space exploration.

Buckwheat is on a mission to destroy our space mission for the glory of his satanic caliphate. Every child who dreams of traveling to the stars should hate his guts.

Let me go get a roll of dried tree pulp and think about it.

I’ll bet those 747 pilots had a great time of it.

I flew thru LA last night and saw it. An amazing sight but also quite sad to see it ending.

Hunter Schroeder was dressed for the part as he waited with family for the shuttle Endeavour to land at LAX.

The pilot of our plane actually turned the plane around and taxi’d back so that passengers on both sides of the plane could see it. This truly represents American exceptionalism.

Absolutely!
At the Proud Bird Restaurant near LAX, patrons watch the second fly-by of the Shuttle Endeavour.

Trees are robust and they are crops. We can plant more. There is no inalienable right to shade trees. Or treat them like slain people.
