Runway 22 was ~used again (this is the only concrete runway at Edwards). I went all the way out to Edwards, and had a lot of fun waiting for and watching the shuttle land. However, I was disappointed that the crowd does not get to be closer to the actual landing site. We could barely see it when it landed, although the view when it flew over us was fantastic! BTW, for those of you going to future launches, look for Avenue E and 140th street. The signs blew over and we had a hard time finding the viewing site. -- -Todd Day- ivucsb!todd@anise.acc.com
