Space shuttle Endeavour ended its flight career Sept. 21 as it toured California on the back of NASA's modified 747 carrier aircraft, landing at Los Angeles International Airport after its final ferry flight into history.
The four-hour, 34-minute flight began at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base Friday morning, and over the ensuing hours the piggyback pair made low-level flybys over scores of California cities and landmarks, many of which had direct ties to NASA's Space Shuttle Program over the past 40 years.
Ironically, the flyover was scheduled to fly right over our studios at KHITS 92.1, so my news and traffic reporter, Christine Reckford and I decided to broadcast from the stations rooftop and watch the flight while on the air. After waiting all morning with a no show shuttle, we decided to call Nasa and find out what was causing the delay. To our delight, we got to speak to Michael Curie, Nasa's premiere spokesperson who was actually on board the 747. This is that interview.
