Shuttles final Flight

Featured Replies

Now that the Space Shuttles are making their way to their final resting spots, I thought Id post a few shots. This is the Endevour on top a 747.

In X-plane, if you hit the space bar, they will seperate.

I must have accidentally hit the spacebar at some point during the flight, because it was gone when I landed (lol). On instant replay I saw that I had done just that, and it glided off into a mountain side.

 

No where did that shuttle go? Maybe Moonraker stole it? :Hypnotized: Good thing I dont work for NASA!

Very fitting and great screens Rob, I think you better explain "Moonracker" to the young-ens they will never understand your humor! :rofl:

Awesome shots Rob!

Such a historic moment yesterday, I'm just sad that I couldn't be at the National Mall to see this in person. A lot of my friends posted pictures live from the event on facebook, it seemed as DC came to a halt for the time.

Actually I was thinking about doing the fly-by in my sim, but I didn't find any SCA model to fly with.

If you mean MSFS, there's a model here, should work fine in both FS2004/FSX:

Thank you so much Kyle!!! I was searching the libraries here and on other sites and just couldn't find anything. Never thought about POSKY... :biggrin:

xplane can really look good sometimes, I've always been amazed by the 747 being able to carry such a monster, I wonder how big the difference between a normal 747 and this one is ^_^

:sad: I sure am going to miss the shuttles....
