Lockheed Martin
Just thought I'd share these two cool pics I stumbled upon online as space shuttle Endeavour prepared to venture to her final resting home in Los Angeles back in September of 2012. In the photo above, an F-35A Lightning II soars over Endeavour and her Shuttle Carrier Aircraft as they were prepped for flight on the tarmac at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert. In the image below, a visitor aboard the USS Iowa in San Pedro took this shot of the retired orbiter as she flew high above the battleship's mighty 16-inch guns (two of which are visible in this pic). Endeavour's permanent exhibit, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, is set to open at the California Science Center in 2018. I'll be there when it opens...or soon thereafter.
