Hi there!

I was back in the cockpit yesterday for some instrument training here in Florida, and I got to experience something not too many people get too see.  I am sure you have heard of Cape Canaveral, where the shuttle takes off, and now the shuttle program has been shut down by the government.  Well, to make a long story short I was able to do a practice approach to the official NASA shuttle landing strip (KTTS).  It was truly amazing and I almost lost it when I switched over to “NASA Tower”! I was able to see from about a 1000 feet above the launch pads, fueling center, vehicle assembly building, and other NASA facilities.  It was such a cool view and I took some photos for all you out there to check out. Enjoy!

This is where the shuttle lands! Pretty sweet!
