Unusual Sight in the Sky Tomorrow

[RadioHowie]

Nice. I remember way back in high school I was walking out of class and looked up to see this flying low over our School as it made an emergency landing at MacDill AFB. Quite the sight for sure.

Later that day I got a better viewing. My physics class got to go out to the base once a week for a bit of "Physics in the real world" that they held for several weeks. Instead of our scheduled class they loaded us up in vans and took us out to circle the plane. One of those memories of a kid who was a fanatic of the space program, we were in vans circling the truck and way closer than even the press was being allowed. It's an incredibly impressive sight and one heck of an engineering marvel.

GJ,
