Located in the Samuel Oschin Pavilion at the California Science Center - Los Angeles, California.
It was fantastic to see this in person - a must-see if you are interested and in LA.
Lots of additional material/displays in the Science Center.

I witnessed one of Endeavour's launches....pretty exciting stuff. Too bad the money ran out for that program.
Take care,
Tom
Spectacular views. Thanks again!
Black and white was a very good choice for these I think, nicely done.
These iconic, history-making machines seem to have a strong attraction for many of us...
I think it's the tangible connection to the excitement and achievment of exploration and space travel.
I like #7 a lot too Richard - it shows the least detail, but has that fun w/a pov.
I was super excited to get the chance to do so David - like so many, I've been fascinated with space travel since even before my Grandpa and I sat together and watched the first moon landing.
Wow Tom... Launch Day! Now that's something for which I would have sold my dear Mother to get a chance to see... maybe we'll be around for the Mars Mission.
Glad to Ian... In the Science Center, there is a really cool print gallery of the Shuttle on it's way to the Center - many different photogs and scenes including some great "street" shots. You're in Cal - get on over there sometime!
Thanks kolibri... Fascinating, the Shuttle itself is so B&W, it seemed entirely logical to do so (said in my best Mr. Spock voice).

Happy Holidays, my friend,

Thanks very much moose... more so, 'cause you-da-man in aviation photography!
I was impressed, and so, inspired by your series of Space Shuttle Enterprise from 2012:

That is an awesome opportunity and personal story Tom...
If you think about it - in the context of world history - your eye-witness experiences are rare, and completely modern in nature - never to be exactly repeated. I am, of course, very envious!
Best to you!
