Space Shuttle - Dec '08
Space Shuttle Endeavour had to land in California and be piggy-backed back to Florida.
One of its stops was at the Joint Reserve Base (Formerly Carswell Air Force Base) in Fort Worth, TX.
Fortunately, I heard about it just in time to get out there for the landing.
I went back out that evening, trying to get some good night shots.. and then I went back out for the take-off, the next day.
