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.

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"

Here is some of the meta-data: ISO 200, 1/2000 @ f/8, Nikon D3, jsc2009e084205, NASA-Imagery Acquisition photographer Robert Markowitz backseat in a NASA T-38 aircraft to document this historic photo. Great shot Robert!
