CAP Member to Pilot Space Shuttle Endeavour

[ZigZag911]

From the way the news article reads it sounds as if he is a full colonel?

Regular military in O-6 (colonel or navy captain) and flag ranks (general/admiral) will often decline the offer of CAP lt col....can't say I blame them!

Ewww... The water recovery system is pretty gross.

We didn't get to go see it like I wanted, but we did see it from our place in Kissimmee. We even had rain. My son used his camera and got it on video.
Wow what a site, never gets old.

Now to "Hear" it return with the twin sonic booms on the 29Th.

Any way of knowing if we'd hear him on the ISS broadcasts?  I've actually never listened to one.

Former cadet pilots space shuttle while another former [Eaker] cadet Tom Culpepper (Seminole Composite and Fairfax Composite Squadrons) circles the launch site in a HH-60 as a PJ in the event the unthinkable happens. 

CAP wins all the way around.

Was FL Wing flying around the launch site like they have done lately?  Would add even a bit more to the event.

Endeavour has docked with the ISS.  Everything is going well!
