Shuttle Endeavour: Disneyland, Getty on tap for L.A. flyover
Officials have revealed some details of space shuttle Endeavour's aerial tour of California, a final flight that is to include low-level passes over the state Capitol, San Francisco and several Los Angeles landmarks.
Riding piggyback on a modified 747 aircraft, the retired shuttle will depart Edwards Air Force Base about 7:15 a.m. Friday and will fly low over Palmdale, Lancaster, Rosamond and Mojave before heading north to Sacramento, NASA officials said.
[...]
Once the shuttle reaches the Los Angeles area about 10:30 a.m., the orbiter will be carried over landmarks including the Getty Center, the Griffith Observatory, Malibu and Disneyland before landing at Los Angeles International Airport. It will also fly over the California Science Center in Exposition Park, its new permanent home.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Flyover
Wouldn't the buzz lightyear attraction be more appropriate?

Re: Flyover
It would be great fun to see one of the flyovers, but since I'm on the wrong coast...
I hope to get down to NYC and the Intrepid Museum to see Enterprise sometime before too long. I've been meaning to visit the INtrepid for a while, and Enterprise just adds to the appeal. Of course, I've already seen the Enterprise in its years at the Smithsonian. Always an inspiring sight, though.

Re: Flyover
Additional locations have been added.
Venice Beach, Universal Studios, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Long Beach Aquarium and the Queen Mary.
Will this turn into Shuttlemageon?

That would be cool too. All depends on where you are in the park at the time.Goofyernmost wrote:It would be even more kick-ass if it flew over Space Mountain! :)
(Use a 'really' big lens on the camera though)

Re: Flyover
I am hoping to catch the shuttle on its way/or back from DL as i will be stuck at Knott's! Worse yet, I will be probably be stuck indoors in an office! :(
Just in case though I will have my camera ready!
