That is way cool! The high resolution picture shows all sorts of
neat detail. You can see clearly the leading edge flaps cranked
all the way in. You can see what appears to be pretty large
elevator deflection. You can see the sharp edge of the exhaust plume
by the distortion. You can sense the sink rate from the exhaust
plume.

The only thing you can't really get a good sense of is altitude
AGL, but we know it's low.

yours,
Michael

My information is that he punched out 140ft AGL. Of course, that's based on
information gleaned from the 'Net...

More accurate than , say, CNN.

At the Thunderbird hanger, #6 photo was not on the entry wall as of yesterday.
Today, with the change of command ceremony, the new commander and the
replacement #6 photos were up on the wall.
