One Final Flight Over America

Last Wednesday morning, Space Shuttle Endeavour began its final flight atop a jumbo jet at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. For three days, the shuttle rode piggyback to Los Angeles, California where it will begin its next mission as an educational display at the California Science Center.

Check out this photo gallery of Endeavor's final flight.
