If it's anything like last time, they would have announced it by a memo to the JSC people a good number of hours in advance, but that was very much set up as a photo op for the year.

Just noticed Astro_127 (Mark Polansky) just tweeted that he was on the way to KSC for the STS 127 terminal countdown test. I believe that's him in NASA946 on Flightaware now. Wow!

Any local news stations at the destination that might break to cover the landing live?

It's a very small town in a very small TV station market - it'd be doubtful.

Ran out to lunch and got these pictures as Atlantis was leaving. What an amazing thing to see up close. I really hope I can make it out to a launch soon I hear they are better....but still great watching her leave! Enjoy!

Thanks for the images, FusionLattice. Did it seem to you that it took a long time for the SCA to get down the runway and get airborne?

NASA: Once Atlantis gets to Columbus Air Force Base managers will assess the weather and determine what the best route is to arrive at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida this evening.

It did seem like it took a while to get up and it was in the rotated position for quite sometime before it finally started to lift up. I see C5's and C17's go in and out and they don't usually take that long to get up.

Also noticed that for this leg the Pathfinder is now in the database as a C9. Not sure why the designation changed but the plane is still the same C9.
