What's up Region 6? I hope all is well and everyone is doing good. I'm still in the Pacific Northwest. The weather has started to improve which is great but as most of you know, this region stays overcast cold and rainy most of the year.

I watched the new last Tuesday (04-17-12) as I was getting ready for work and saw where Space Shuttle Discovery was getting ready to make it's last voyage to it's final destination. It made a final pass by the Space Coast and Space Center then headed to north.

It wasn't long before the pics started to hit my inbox from some of the few coworkers left at the Space Center, Some from Califnornia, and Houston. It was a great program. i got to meet and work with alot of amazing people. Best of all I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of 25 years working on that program. Enjoy the pics...

Part of the stipulation was to display the vehicles at locations that had the most public access. Here's a few more. They keep coming.... LOL

This one was in my inbox when I got to work this afternoon. It is of Discovery and Enterprise nose to nose, eye to eye. LOL..

82 Elco , Thanks for the photos and good to hear you are well . Must admit I am a little envious of the job you have had with the shuttle efforts for these years . Great Job !! I know it must put a lump in your throat seeing it fly by again ! I always ask for more photos so why not indulge us ? How about that great nighttime photo you put up before . I think it was the " Endeavor " , sitting on the launch pad ? This effort is certainly something this country has a right to be pround of . :You_Rock:

Yeup, it was one great ride. Glad to have been a part of it.

Good to have friends to think of you huh? I received the following pics from one of my buddies still at the Space Center. These were taken from T-38 Space Shuttle Escort plane.
