Nice shots Eric. Looks like you were just slightly closer than Speed was when he took his shots a day earlier

Re: Space Shuttle Landing Friday Morning......

With a glide rate of 12 to 1 (dropping 12 feet for every 1 foot forward), it certainly has to drop quickly!

Great series, Eric! Reminds me of when I was at Edwards for the first shuttle landing (Columbia). It banked right over us and I burned off some great shots.
