NASA pilots Jack Nickel (in the jet with tail number 62) and Charlie Justiz fly over two shuttles on the launch pad on April 17, 2009. Shuttle Atlantis (STS-125) is in the foreground on pad 39A and Endeavour (STS-400) can be seen in the distance on launch pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Ed Hengeveld |

That's a neat picture with two shuttles on their pads. I would love to fly in a T-38 especially with an Astronaut at the controls!However not playing chicken like Mike Mullane discribes in his book "Riding Rockets" |
