Up close with the Space Shuttle Discovery

Hello Steemians. Thought I would share a photo from my past in the U.S. Air Force.

Here I am with 2 other airmen from my duty section pictured with the Space Shuttle Discovery behind us piggy backed on NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft(a modified Boeing 747). Once the shuttles returned from orbit and landed, the shuttle was ferried back to the Kennedy Space Center, and our base was used as a place for the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to land due to the weather, and refueling. It was truly an awesome sight to see these on our flight line from time to time. Thank you and keep on steemin' on!
