The Discovery ferry flight made a stop in Amarillo today. It's headed to Florida, but it's making a few stops in between. I have to give great thanks to my friend Robert Ruley for giving me the heads up on this. Myself and Steve Miller (TX) made the trip to see it. Also, I have to give thanks to Steve Miller for pulling some strings and getting me close to see it come in and land. Here are some pics that I took.

The Pathfinder taking off. This aircraft takes off first to analyze wind shear and other details.
Security and police officers were everywhere.
And she takes off!
