Endeavour

[Major Tom]

Here are some great pics of shuttle Endeavour (the real one). In one of the pics, the astronaut's F18 is visible. They fly in style.

Great photos. The one of the ship flaring for a landing, before gear deploy, is one of the coolest.

I don't know if anyone else followed the links at the bottom of that page but one took me here and I ended up on the STS126 collection. These pictures are .... well, SPECTACULAR ! If anyone is needing "what it looks like" examples for design of anything on the ISS ... this is the collection!

Very spectacular pics, thank you!

My favorite, because seeing an STS orbiter fly like a bird is such a fleeting thing. By the time it's close enough to get this kind of photo, it's only seconds from gear deploy, and the clean lines are ruined:
