Discovery
We got word this morning that the shuttle was going to stop over at AMA for fuel on its way back to Florida. I went out to the airport to get some photo ops and to see the real thing. As it approached AMA, Shelley reported that it flew right over our house! How cool is that?
This is the tail of the DC-9 that accompanied the 747/Discovery.
No we don't really have a ranch and we don't round up cattle. This blog is a "Round-Up" of our lives, with photography, art, and various musings and happenings in our lives here on the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle.
