"He ain't heavy, he's my..." | |
Whoa! | |
Awesome shot, it does seem to be "flying off into history" literally and figuratively. Thanks for sharing and posting without the "watermark" it looks beautiful as my desktop wallpaper. | |
Yes I believe it was a wire of some sort. This unexpected shot happened quickly as the SCA circled behind us, unplanned, and there was no time to notice or move. | |
That's a beautiful shot, but what is the faded line running through the shot at the top? Is it a telephone wire or something? | |
Epic. The best farewell shot Discovery could wish. | |
Just magnificent! | |
You will be missed | |
Ben, simply breath-taking! Tony | |
Great shot! | |
Love it. However is one for the museum and is one for the desert? | |
Awesome picture of a historic flight!! | |
The final 'lift off'. Thanks Ben | |
A worthy farewell picture for a great era ! Stunning ! | |
Nothing to say! 6 Stars!!! | |
Just stunning, amazing capture gives us the essence of two American aerospace icons - the Shuttle and the 747 | |

Simply Breathtaking shot! | |
Enjoy your new home Discovery | |
Gorgeous backdrop with the sunrise behind clouds, great silhouette of the very unusual-looking aircraft in the sky and in action (banked), great framing. A once-in-a-blue-moon shot, congrats! | |
Simply stunning!!! Everything about this photos is amazing. Thanks Ben | |
No words needed | |
That's a great image. It's symbolic of Discovery helping the country go into a new day. | |
So nostalgic, a beautiful pic to capture a moment of aerospace history | |
Fantastic, what a great farewell shot - congratulations Ben! | |
....And off into the sunset (or in this case rise) it rides. It's work here is done! | |
That's very artistic... and fitting. :( | |
Sometimes words are not able to describe what they see. Ben, this is unbelievable. Thats finally the picture, how I will remember all the shuttles... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT "WOW" FEELING !!!! | |
Great contrast. The break in the clouds sharply highlights the details of the joined aircraft. A very poignant moment with the end of the program. | |
Extremely fitting, as the sun sets on Discovery's legendary life | |
Beautiful | |
My vote for PC for such a sensual picture. You've done a very good job taking this unique photo! I don't think it was easy to find the right place out of airport for this beauty but you did it and now we'll remember this photo for a long time! Thx! | |
That is an absolutely stunning capture! It's almost as if "someone above" was helping to create a beautiful backdrop for a historic, bittersweet moment. | |
What an awesome capture! Really sad to see this Era in Aviation end. But what a sight! Congratulations! | |
Farewell and thank you Discovery! | |
Sad to see the program end but the politics killed another great program at nasa | |
Perfecto | |
This shows how magical Nasa used to make us dream. Congratulations. Anthony G. | |
Goodbye Space Shuttle! This view will never be forgotten... Thanks for sharing Ben. | |
