[AllanStern at aol.com]

It is Tues, 1:30am EDT (0530z).
  Preparations are underway for the arrival and landing of STS-114. 
  After providing weather observations from over the Cape, Kent Rominger has 
landed T-38N "NASA 913."  Next acft up will probably be one of the STAs, most 
likely "NASA 945."
  Comms between Rominger and the ground were heard on 126.65.  He noted no 
significant weather in the area immediate to the Shuttle Landing Facility, onlky 
extremely thin cirrus.  Traveling further away he reported a thunderstorm and 
some other activity that he said bears watching.  He was up at 42,000 feet 
and should have been heard by monitors at great distance from the Cape.
