The Space Shuttle "Columbia". My Dad checked me out of school one day, I had no idea why. I was in the eighth grade at the time. He told me that the space shuttle was being flown back to Cape Canaveral atop the transporter 747 and it was stopping at Eglin AFB, so he checked me out of school so that we could watch it fly in. It was so cool. We stood at the shore of Boggy Bayou in Niceville, Florida and watched it as it approached. Later that day, the public was allowed onto the base to view the shuttle and we went to see it. I had a little Kodak Disc camera at the time. I took pictures of the front half and rear half of the plane and shuttle and put them together to make one picture, not too bad for a kid with a basic camera. Lol. The next day, me and some friends watched it take off, I remember it seemed like it took forever for it to get up off the ground and then it flew right overhead. Pretty amazing stuff.
