Discovery Flies Over Walt Disney World: The Everyday Adventures Of the Purple Van September 21, 2009
Now, here's something you don't see flying over WDW very often. It's the space shuttle Discovery being ferried back to Kennedy Space Center atop a 747.
The purple van was headed back to the warehouse around noon today after dropping off lots of Lockers and strollers when, up in the sky...there it was.
Discovery had to divert to land in California last week becasue of bad weather at Kennedy Space Center and today it was being ferried back home. What a sight!
you can get more details and see better photos at www.nasa.gov.
