It's camped out overnight in Ft. Campbell KY before. It goes wherever the weather will allow it.
I would think that's within reason -- they could certainly keep going north, but that also takes them farther away from KSC.

KAMR reporter in Amarillo apparently has video of SCA/Atlantis on the ground and huge crowds watching it.

http://www.fboweb.com posted a note on its top page so users will track the SCA
I just wanted to reiterate what a neat utility this is. You can load up all three flights in to Google Earth at the same time if you want 
That is very cool.

The C9 is on the ground, and the T38 has passed the SCA and is nearing OFF. The SCA is flying a few thousand feet lower than the C9 was, perhaps they noted some turbulence in the area.

Yep, good call. Someone somewhere is going to get this landing, there's TONS of media and people waiting for her arrival. Great level of interest, which is awesome to hear.

With the SCA safely down, here's a look at the three runway approaches (looking SW). You can see the T38 coming down from its higher altitude to fly a similar pattern. This is a really cool toy :cool:

Any news on the flight plan out of OFF. I'm crossing my fingers it may fly over Columbia, MO.

Had an e-mail from someone there saying literally thousands upon thousands of locals swarming to the airport to see her.

I just figured they would have had this from before, even back at the approach and landing test phase... but I guess they used chase planes for that. Any chance they'll have a chase plane anywhere near it on this trip with a camera?
If nothing else I would think the extra few thousand to scamble a photo op flight would be worth it...
Why? They have enough file footage

I have a feeling I'm gonna have this thread on refresh my entire 12 hour shift here at work 
No cameras? Wow, that seems odd. Seems like nasa would want to document EVERYTHING. Oh well... if it was MY nasa... 
There is no need to document it
