Let's See Those Endeavour Flyover Photos

Did you head out Friday morning to witness history?

The Space Shuttle Endeavour made its once-in-a-lifetime farewell tour over Northern California, making low-level flyovers at about 1,500 feet above locations along a planned flight path that included the Bay Area, from Sacramento to San Francisco and even NASA Ames Research Center near Mountain View.

Commuters in southern Marin got a great view of the shuttle as it flew over Highway 101 south toward San Francisco around 10:30 a.m. Wolfback Ridge in Sausalito was jam packed with gawkers trying to get the best view of the shuttle.

"I don't know if it's worth the cost for something that's just a spectacular show, but it was spectacular," said one commuter who was surprised to see the low-level flyover as he was filling up at a gas station.
