flyover of Space Shuttle Endeavor before it gets museumed. :)

be published as the event program is finalized.

On Oct. 30, the shuttle will be on display in the science center's Samuel
Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion, embarking on its new
mission to commemorate past achievements in space and educate and inspire
future generations of explorers.
