[Scan-DC] Shuttle flyover - Flightaware link

[Robert H. Eisner]

Daily updates are being posted on this NASA site:

It looks like it will arrived in the DC area around 10:00am.   I think scheduled to landed at Dulles around 11:00am.   I'm pretty sure the runway they're going to be landing on is 1R / 19L.  

You can get some really good photo shots of it landing from the parking lot of the Smithsonian’s Udvar-Hazy Center if they're landing on runway 1R.  Most of the arrivals have been landing in that direction at that time of the day.

It will be flying over Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD at
11:00 AM approximately.  If you cannot get on site then the Cipriano Square
Shopping Center parking lot across Greenbelt Road with the K-Mart has been
mention by Goddard employees as a good photo location.
