502 A historic and delicate moment for Malta when 2 Libyan Mirages(502/508) defected and flew their jets to Malta.The pilots told the Maltese authorities that they left from a base near Tripoli(Okba Ben Nafi Air Base) and flew to Malta after being ordered to bomb protesters who had occupied the Libyan second city of Benghazi. Instead they escaped and came to Malta for Political Asylum! |

OV-103 (cn OV-103) The Shuttle Discovery, NASA's flagship orbiter, heads into space for the 39th and final time February 24 at 4:50pm EST. STS-133 launched into a beautifully clear late-afternoon sky, taking to the space station Leonardo, formerly one of the two flown resuable Multipurpose Logistics Modules (MPLM) that visited the ISS on seven previous shuttle missions since 2001, and now converted into a permanent storage closet for the station known as the Pressurized Multipurpose Module (PMM). This was the last US-launch |

OV-103 (cn OV-103) Last seconds of 365 days and last mile of 148,221,675 of space flight. “Space, the final frontier. These have been the voyages of the Space Shuttle Discovery. Her 30-year mission: To seek out new science. To build new outposts. To bring nations together on the final frontier. To boldly go, and do, what no spacecraft has done before.” --- "Kirk, out!" |
