Lights, camera...

I'm getting very little actual work done this morning.  Instead, I keep looking out the window. I've got my little handheld transceiver tuned to the 1R/19L runway's frequency so I'll have a little warning before the 747 carrying the shuttle Discovery actually lands.  It appears they're using a special frequency for the 747 and its escorts.  I only hear information that's relayed to the other aircraft that are taking pictures or otherwise in the vicinity.

It did a flyover earlier here and is now somewhere over DC providing photo opportunities.  I did get a few shots of that.  Kinda wish I had a longer lens for the dslr though.
