Thumbs up I witness "History" Endeavour's fly over



Hi Guy's



Last night I saw on TV the map they were showing of the Space Shuttle "Endeavour's" fly over on it's way to it new home at the Space center in L.A.



I saw that the 747 & the shuttle were to fly over the L.A. harbor at San Pedro...That's where I live "Greg Out West"...I was watching on TV as the big Jet & the shuttle was doing fly over ...


As the Battleship USS Iowa just came to the port in July & they said the fly over path was coming over the Iowa..I thought I'll just get as close as I can to see if i can see it fly over



Just as I drove to where the Iowa is Berthed,,,I saw People pointing,,,saying there it is !!!! I looked out the window of my car and there it was the big 747 with the shuttle "Endeavour" on top...I could hear the 747 engine screaming as it went overhead.. It was close,,about a 1000 feet above



It's a memory I'll never forget..Felt good to be a "American" this day..God bless this great land "


Now I'll wipe my eye & get back to work on another American Icon "The Model A Ford"


Take care my friend's
