    What a great, rare, once in a lifetime experience. I also love the pilots comments: "Those on the right side can see the space shuttle. Those on the left can see those on the right looking at the space shuttle."


    Also drinks were on the house for the entire plane! Incredible experience.

    When I used to live in Communist Russia, I once got to see the launch of space shuttle Бура́н (Buran) while I was riding my donkey on the side of the road. What a country?

    You do realize you weren't on this plane and simply embedded this video from Yahoo's home page, right?

    You are forgetting the bigger and more sinister question of what is that being sprayed out of the back of the Space Shuttle?

    That's an awesome video -- very cool.

    Here's one of those old test landings...

    Thanks for the post ToyCen. I'm glad there were no UFOs added in.

    The movies always make it seem like they shoot straight up and not slanted like in this one.
