All eyes were on the sky above the White House this morning as Space
Shuttle Discovery did a lap across the nation's capital. The Shuttle was
getting a piggyback ride from a Boeing 747 jet -- known as NASA 905
-- as it made its way from the Kennedy Space Center to Washington Dulles
International Airport for delivery at the Smithsonian’s National Air
and Space Museum Steve F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Check out this gallery of
images NASA photographers took of the dramatic flight:
