More than 25 years ago I had a very special opportunity to be at the arrival of the Columbia and the Challenger Space Shuttles at the Kennedy Space Center.  After a few moves, bad storage and years of Florida humidity, most of the images that I took are missing, or now ruined.  Here are those that have managed to make it thru the years.

Enterprise

Never meant to fly into space, the Space Shuttle Enterprise was a test craft and is seen here rolling out to the launch pad for fitting and testing.  This took place in June of 1979.
