Space Shuttle Discovery, mounted on an airplane, being transported from Cape Canaveral to the National Air and Space Museum Annex near Dulles Airport. The shuttle was piggy-backed on the plane and was "shown off" above the Capitol Mall and around the area today. Louisa and I were on the 6th floor deck of the Department of Labor for this shot. We saw three "fly bys". The most spectacular was the one aboe, where the shuttle was flown over the Capitol Building. Below is a shot of the actual "rig" when it was a little closer to us.
This was an incredible sight to see. There are better pictures on the internet, but these were the "real deal" for me. I felt very lucky to be there with Louisa who, by the way, had clocked out and was not on official duty.
