    Flying out of Dallas a couple days ago the air traffic controller said the space shuttle was off to our left. I look over and it's a few miles right off the wing piggyback on a 747. I took pictures but can't see it in the pics. We flew beside it for a few minutes.
    One of life's greatest moments.

    That's awesome! I've seen a couple launches down in Cape Canaveral. Awesome to watch.
