Today's edition of The Boston Globe carries a front page photograph of the
flight of Challenger with its external tank and SRBs.  The vehicle is shown
flying upward at about a 45 degree angle, with the orbiter ON TOP.

I was under the impression that in previous flights, the vehicle flew with
the orbiter upside down beneath the tank.  Was this done previously but not
on 41C, was the picture printed upside down, or am I mistaken?
