What a RUSH! There were thousands of us on Aviation Blvd. at the East end of runways 25L/R. Endeavour first appeared out of the haze to the West around 11:40. It flew around the Los Angeles basin, including 2 flybys down the runways at KLAX. Everyone cheered everytime if flew by. Over an hour later, just after 12:45, Endeavour and it's 747 ferry touched down on runway 25R. The chase planes are both NASA F-18s.
