I just watched it on NASA select and it was a completely nominal approach and landing, though 3000 miles west of KSC.... Anyone have any ideas of the itinerary for the return flight to KSC on the carrier aircraft? It sometimes comes through Tucson's Davis-Monthan AFB, particularly when it's got a heavy payload bay load. It's not very often anymore that the opportunity to see it come through town happens. I've had trouble finding details in the past (and that was before 9/11...), but it would be nice to know at least a couple hours before it arrives if it does.... Jim.
