She and NASA 905, the Boeing 747 did a low flyby right down Mojave Air and Space Port's main runway this morning with a NASA F18 as the chase plane. I am so thankful I got to go see her a final time and take my first and last pictures of her airborne. I will eventually see her again at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, her final resting place.

Thank you! I was so fortunate to be able to get out and see this. Me too.. I've always thought it was so neat. I had never seen it myself though, only in pictures.

That's a great shot, especially with the F18.
