To the runway! Take off from runway 33.
The Pathfinder took off in that direction last time, too; just a different sequence (it left last in April).

As PAO Mike Curie noted, going to start weather recon with the local area...

T-38
I'm assuming they're setting up for similar imagery of the SCA takeoff, with the T-38 chase leaving first to circle around for the 747 roll and the flybys.

It's currently behind the SCA on the runway, so yes, I think it'll have to take off first.

Yes, like last time, to pose for all the spectators out there.  (Helicopter is out there on the west side of the runway, again.)

On the beach.  Cool with a nice breeze. Fairly big crowd.

Still taxiing. Note the T-38 'under' her right wing.

T-38 turns around.
