This is a great size comparion.The two C-130's waiting to take off are dwarfed by the shuttle/747.

Thanks!

There were hundreds of people there, but they had to shoot through the fence. I arrived 5 hours early and had the perfect spot. It also helped that I could stand on the roof of my F250 

A lot of pros were pretty pissed that I had the good spot, and there was a little smack talk going on behind my back (why does he need a D300, ect..)  I loved every minute of it

Those are really nice shots.  Would loved to have seen it in person.

(I love the "why do you need that" accusations, that's a funny one though!)

Wow - what a scene - really cool you got pix of that too !!  Once again, great shots !     

Do these photos remind anyone else of those biology class filmstrips (anyone REMEMBER film strips?) about insects?

Great pics Zach!

Great pics!  Been sharing them with some friends and the say so too!

You shoulda driven the Unimog - talk about better view AND smack talk.   

here's a few shots that came from an email chain I got at work:

The shuttle + SCA combo did  a flyover JSC yesterday too    it was ridiculously awesome and they flew WAAAAY low, did two loops around the campus, and headed off.  SOOO COOL!  Me and all the rest of the NASA geeks were lined up all around the NASA campus looking and waiting

and these pics taken by a friend of mine as I forgot to bring my camera that day, note that he was just taking these pics off a normal point and shoot handheld 







it's really nice to see people still amazed and excited by stuff like this, makes me proud to be in the industry!
