The Discovery Flyover!

One of the perks of working (ahh that's right, WORKING... more on that later) pretty close to the Dulles Airport presented itself yesterday. I got to see the Discovery Shuttle! 


In all honesty, I think that just about everyone else in DC/Northern VA saw it too, but it was pretty exciting moment in history nonetheless. We saw the Discovery (and its plane and fighter jet escort) when it flew over Dulles on its way to the DC/Alexandria flyover. The fighter jet is the teeny blip to the left of the plane that looks a tiny bit like a missile... not so weird here, but it did look kinda strange when I saw pictures of it over the monuments... but anyway. Here's another, unzoomed picture. 


Can't wait to see it up close at the Smithsonian sometime soon!
