• Recorded it to video (10mb) and will place on the video section now for anyone that missed it.

• A beautiful takeoff to say the least!

• ? -- FlightAware is showing an flightplan of only FL150 -- is this normal?  Seems a bit low...

• What an incredible sight!
  That SCA really thunders down the runway.
  Almost as exciting as a launch.
  Anyone know where/when the next stop is and will NASA TV be carrying it?

• 13 to 15k is the norm for SCA

  Yes, that is the normal altitude for ferry flights and that is why weather is such an issue because they are flying at the altitude of typical buildups and must steer around them.

• looking at the flight plan on FlightAware it shows: HEC EED DRK ZUN ABQ TCC PNH.
  What do all of those abreviations stand for?

  Next stop is planned for Rick Husband Amarillo Intl. in TX. And NASA TV will not broadcast that as I doubt there's any good long-range tracking cameras on a commercial airport.
