Images of the Shuttle Discovery's Last Flight
 |
| Our position under the Shrine tower |
 |
| Word arrives that the Shuttle Discovery is flying a path along 4th St. N.E. |
 |
| Our first glimpse of the historic flight |
 |
| The shuttle Discovery is heading directly toward CUA and the Shrine |
 |
| Discovery is nearing campus |
 |
| A brief moment in history.... |
 |
| Goose bumps for the pride and......sadness! |
 |
| Furious that my zoom lens is in my camera bag 200 yards away!! |
 |
| Truly an impressive sight... |
 |
| One last fly over.... |
 |
| Thank you for your service, Discovery. |
 |
| The shuttle has a well deserved military escort! |
 |
| An era ended...filled with American pride! |
 |
| One last image of history...enroute to the Air and Space Museum |
