EVENINGPARKSIE!
Wow! Seriously cool snaps.
Is it just me, or does the shuttle seem to be humping the 747?????
It certainly seems to be smiling about something!!
Maybe I need to get out more.
I think I'll go have lunch now.
Excellent photo's:D :D :D
Very Cool!
barrk...How did you get those pics?
I work at EAFB (Edwards Air Force Base)....got to see the whole sequence in person!
Yep...it's doing a 747...seems to like it too!;)
Wow! These are georgous, Katie.
I can't make out which shuttle it is though. Did you take these pictures? When? Tell us the story (if there is one).

It was the Columbia...it had to land here due to bad weather in Florida. I work at the F-22 Combined Test Force which is right next to NASA. The pictures were taken by the NASA PR department and they sent it to us. We all unofficially took the afternoon off and went over and watched. It was fun....much more fun than working:p
i can imagine how cool that must be :p much more cooler than it is for me to spend these endless days
Well,
I'm impressed. I've printed them all out so I can show my Dad when I next see him. He eventually wants to go and see a shuttle launch.
Katie - I think you should bring back the kitten avatar. Although less artistic, it does tend to portray you better....
youre right about that arbiter, but i'm not saying the current is ugly
...damn it LA get those models glued up
:cool: cool pics :cool:
Here's "my" planes.......
Oooooh...pwetty :)
Those have to be the coolest pictures. I made the front view one before take off my background. I wish i could be there. My brother in law works up in NASA in virginia. Don't ask details cause i do not know. At least i can watch when they launch from here in Florida. You can see all the way from West palm beach. I am going to show my wife these pics when i get home the are super kewl.
How do you like my new avatar....does that portray me better?Quote:

I liked the kitten better
....finally some one on this site is prepared to use art works from the studios of a noted nazi and anti-semite.
PS anyone going through Disney Land check out the doll exhibition, a noted Aussie has made a slight addition to it. Plus added a note explaining Mr Disney's stated opinions.
Yes the happiest Kingdom of all, paying it's employees the lowest wages of all outside a Nike factory in Asia.
Cheers for the pix katie.

Katie, I am so jealous. You get fighter planes and the shuttle. I get the buses on Picadilly Gardens. Life is just not fair sometimes.
Katie, get us a job ;-)
td.
Please !
I noticed the shuttle was looking a bit dirty, I could clean it. Reasonable rates charged.
I could be that fella thats stands in front of big plane and waves ping pong bats around. Then gets run over.
td.
In slide 9, are those two guys really stupid, or incredibly hard?
td.
ooo, good choice td. And when you knock off for the day you could have a game or two in the hangar.
Smart!
td.
td - did you get in the office before everyone else too ?
yer, 5:30 ;-)
td.
Trouble sleeping or not been to bed yet ? It's got to be one of those, I can't believe you'd deliberately get to work for 5:30 :eek:
Woke up early, but i'm usally in by 7 anyway.
td.
7:30 for me usually. Gotta say it's good being out by 6:30, feels like I'm seeing the best part of the day. Anyway someone's come in now so going to have to go.
later
Yeap really stinks. I got up this morning at 4:30 eastern time. I do not have to be at work till 9:00 and i am here by 5:30.
That's amazing! Its such a shame about the X33 though :(Quote:

BTW I liked the new avatar :cool:
Kzin....your signature is a riot!
Thanks - I thought that it might be a little too close to the truth to be appreciated widely ;) . Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" is a great book though - I recommend it!Quote:

Seeing your shuttle pictures I wondered if you happen to have any Delta Clipper (DCX) pix (or were all those unceremoniously wiped off the intranet at the end of the project :p ).
I'll have to look around. If I find them...I'll post them for you!
Thanks :DQuote:
