We all climbed out on the ledge of my office building to take pictures.. 22nd floor haha
It looked like there was a smaller fighter jet escorting it for a little while.

Drove my dad to JFK for his trip to the motherland of Sweden . Saw the shuttle parked (still on top of the 747) in an open hangar. Pretty cool to see!
