Hey Ann, I recently met the pilot of this Spaceshuttle flight (Eileen Collins). I posted a photo of her in my portfolio.

Hey Ann,
Good to hear from you. I saw this image and was overwhelmed with jealousy :P. I remember you talking about shuttle landings in Mojave a few years back... old times... Good to see you are still into planes..
And also good to see that you are still your vivacious self and have gathered quite a fan collection here on your return :)

As a life-long fanatic of space flight, this shot makes me grin from ear to ear!
I have long desired to stand where are in this shot, Ann. I'm envious.
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I hope you feel well enough to to at least enjoy some perfunctory celebration.

Ann, congratulation on making the front page today! And this photo proves you've worked for it. Wow. I realized it is being towed, but can you imagine how you looked to the guy in the cockpit? Even at 300mm, you didn't have much time to dilly nor dally. Great job Ann.

Great capture, your choice of camera point and perspective is superb. Funny, but my first idea even with the preview was "B&W", and then Shawn had already had the same idea. BTW, thanks for the nice "about" story
Cheers

How many times have I wanted to see the shuttle land. I guess if I went down there they would land it somewhere else. Excellent photograph and capture.

Ann...you are lucky to have had the opportunity to be where you were to take such a great shot. I begged the person I know whose husband is a crew chief at Edwards to no avail. As you mentioned, Security is very strict. Good job.

David, my husband was the Official Crew Chief and Ground Marshal for this mission so I had a special pass to get onto the ramp and I was able to walk all around the shuttle and take photos. I saw 3 space shuttles land at Edwards during my years I lived in the Mojave Desert but this was the only one I could get so close to. The other 2 landed after the 9/11 attacks so security was very heavily tightened and they wouldn't issue any passes to get on the ramp again. Only NASA official staff and personel could get into the shuttle area after 9/11. I did get a pass to view them again from a special viewing area but I couldn't get as close to the other 2 as I could get to this one. I feel very lucky to have experienced and witnessed this landing and take off for Florida because such things have become almost impossible to see because of security issues these days. It wasn't only the sight if seeing it but also the sonic booms as they enter the earth's atmosphere were quite the sounds too.
Thanks for dropping by and for your comment.
Cheers - Ann :)

Great capture - and so different from most of the other work I've seen of yours!
(The black and white version of this is also effective, but I have a slight preference for the colour one you uploaded.)
Best wishes

Neat shot!! Great way of showing us how big the thing is.... ;-D!!! Love the view, but there's a bit of a 'purple haze' going on.... Shawn's B&W is super and gets rid of that 'problem'...!!! Good crop and excellent symmetrical composition... well done for a 'quicky' (no pun intended...)!!!

thanks a lot for sharing An, we went to Kennedy space center this summer, and we never can see the space shuttle very nearly. It's really appreciate that you can share it with us to complete our visit :)
This picture is more impressive, we have a better idea how big it is with this view and peoples on the side. Great job.

Hi Ann, You sure do get around (;-)... great shot as it gets harder and harder to get anywhere near this kind of stuff... I have still never been at a launch and I have made special trips to the cape twice and once was a long delay couldn't wait and the other time it rained and rained, I had to leave and they shot the next morning... Now I live to far to run down there and take a chance (;-(...

The image is privileged in and of itself. Immediately upon looking at the image (prior to reading the description) the first thought I had was of the privilege the photographer must have had. It is a fantastic perspective and I'm glad I had the chance to view it. Thank you for posting it.

Thanks Ina, glad you enjoyed the photos and the story. It really is mind boggling to think that thing can fly. Some members in here have seen it in flight and I think that would be quite the sight to see that in the air like that. Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.
Cheers - Ann :)

WOW, Ann this one's even more impressive than the other one, because it looks more massive. In here we clearly see people and cars, and that really shows the scale. To think this thing can fly is mindboggling. I think you did well to post them both! Very unique posts and both are fascinating. Thanks for sharing! Ina
