Los Angeles, Space Shuttle Rollover / Flyover 2012

Check out these Space Endeavor on it's final piggy back flight over Los Angeles area. Too bad it was delayed by a day because the weather was perfect the day before, the day of the flyover was quite hazy. These pix where taken from Kenneth Hahn State Park in Baldwin Hills. This is a great place to go take in the view on a clear day. This park was a better deal than going to the Griffith Observatory and fighting the huge crowds. It was free and there was only little over a dozen friendly people plus the shuttle flew right over us. We got on the 405 fwy and drove just a few miles to see it fly over LAX too, which it did two times before finally landing. Major WOW! factor. I will be back to post the ground pix of the slow two day trip to the California Science Center.






These pictures were taken during the 2010 Academy Awards as the blimp flew over Hollywood with snow capped mountain in the background. Santa Barbara Island can be seen on this day in the beyond view. Just to show what a clear day would have looked like.
