 STS-6/Challenger slowly moves through the early morning fog to launch pad 39A in preparation for its maiden flight. The trip was completed in just over six hours. The surrealistic scene was captured from a helicopter on November 30, 1982. The flight was eventually launched on April 4, 1983. Ed Hengeveld |

Hi Ed
What a beautiful photo.
It reminded me of a postcard I delivered a few weeks ago from someone who had been to San Fancisco for there holidays, it showed the two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge comming up above the sea fog.
Keep 'em comming mate.Ian |
