Whereever this bird ends up I hope it's given the respect and dignity it deserves.

Back around 1982-1985 I saw the shuttle take off during the day and at night. Both awesome sights. I was on a Peoples Express flight(remember them?) from Newark to Orlando and the Captain timed it so we could look out the window and see the shuttle as it blazed into orbit.
(something isn't right)
