3 - The Shuttle from its Chase Plane

NASA's 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, carrying space shuttle Endeavour, as seen from one of its chase planes on the flight from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center to Los Angeles International Airport on Sept. 21.

It was pretty amazing to be able to see this flying outside my office window in Santa Monica, but from one of its chase planes, is even better. Feeling nostalgic for the Shuttle already. And here are some videos of its landing at LAX too. ​
