I love it when they approach from the north as we get a pair of sonic booms about three or four minutes before touchdown. Cool video, though. Better than the brief shots given on the NASA channel in their arrival coverage. LRod ZJX, ORD, ZAU retired Yeah, definitely not XMR (Cape Canaveral Skid Strip).

"Heads up" is what you holler to someone who is about to get hit from above. The device project flight information on the screen is a "head up display", as in having the ability to aviate with one's head up instead of down in the cockpit. My #1 aviation pet peeve. Even the NASA announcers say it and they, of all people, should know better. LRod ZJX, ORD, ZAU retired Arrrggh. “Heads up” is what you holler to someone who is about to get hit from above.
