PIggyback return home.
Discovery made it back home to Florida this morning. This may be the last time that we ever see a shuttle come home on the back of the 747 from California...maybe. We have 6 more flights until these old bird's wings are clipped forever, so we never know yet if another landing will happen in California. The shuttles will all get at least one more ride on the 747 - when they are delivered to museums around the country. Of course we'll get one of them here in Seattle! (At least I'm sure hoping Dr. Dunbar can pull this off and get us one).
