Space Shuttle Enterprise

Space Shuttle Enterprise had no engines so it could only glide to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747.

It made a stop at Tulsa International Airport back in 1979 & I was able to get a couple 35mm pictures of it on approach & at the airport.

I scanned the negatives into my digital achieves. :p

I worked at Dulles Airport in the early 80's and one day while I was driving to work a 747 with the shuttle riding piggy back was flying by and people stopped in the middle of the road got out of their cars and stood in the road staring.
I saw it on the tarmac and it was pretty cool.

Speed Checked By Radar

I remember when VASCAR was the popular means of speed detection by the Florida Highway Patrol back in the late 60's & early 70's.

...but I can't think of a funny joke for it at the moment :p

The Amphibious Assault Ship USS Tripoli LHA-7 configured as a "Lightning Carrier", left San Diego today on a trans-pacific proof-of-concept mission.
Carrying 20 F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters from three Marine Corp squadrons, the Tripoli is experimenting with the capabilities that can be brought to bear in this configuration.
