Six days from now... Endeavour is now placed atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft that will ferry her across the country to Southern California on Monday. Final securing (tightening of bolts at the attachment joints) of Endeavour to the modified jumbo jet will take place tomorrow. Still doing research about where to go at LAX to see the orbiter land next Thursday...
