The space shuttle Discovery soared over the Washington Monument, the White House and the Capitol in a high-flying salute to the nation's capital Tuesday.
The world's most traveled spaceship, hitching a ride on top a Boeing 747 jet, took a couple of leisurely spins at an easy-to-spot 1,500 feet around Washington after a flight from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Thousands packed the National Mall to watch the pair swoop by. Luckily, I work here. She sure exacts a sense of pride when you see her. I am sorry the program was shut down. For those that have never been to the Air and Space Meuseum at Dulles, it is a must see. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic but you get the idea!!
