Touchdown!
It looks so much more pristine than the "real" shuttles... but being outdoors, that will prolly change soon.
It was so awesome yesterday! Super exciting.
(even more exciting- had they released it from the 747 and let it glide in at high speed onto the deck and tried to tail hook it )
Anyway, as for pristine and outdoors and changing soon, maybe not as they say they will have it tarped by the end of the week. If you don't get there today or tomorrow or so you'll probably never get a clean shot of it out in the open again.
I sort of wonder why they don't plan on leaving it open to the elements as they do everything else. Maybe NASA wants one to remain in pristine off the presses looking shape.

The deal with NASA was that the recipients of the shuttles had to keep them out of the elements, in an air conditioned facility. Apparently Enterprise isn't quite as special as the three "real" shuttles, as the AC clause has been waived.
4.5 years ago, when I had my first child, I upgraded to my first full frame, the original 5d. since then , I have had a 5d2, and just picked up a 5d3 upon its release. Nice to have good reliable off center aufocus, though I am finding sometimes, its just easier to focus and recompose.
4 shots
one with my 2 girls, 85, f 2.8, 1/160, iso 1000
Not a pro, and without a doubt far more gear than talent (yes, I am the cliche ameture gear head), but its great to be able to capture memories. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7233/7158436605_2aa93cdf83_b.jpg
