Last time I saw it, it was piggy-bag on top of a 747 at Stanstead.
Chris Lord replied:
It ended up on the deck of the Intrepid right here in NY. Thanks a bunch, Dimitris

Wow great capture, but almost sad in a way as we see the shuttle heading for retirement. Superb detail and dramatic sky...perfect!!
Chris Lord replied:
This historical moment really does signify the end of an era. Thanks so much Robin, very glad you liked it, cheers.
Lianne Schneider
such gorgeous work Chris. Fabulous detail. f.v
Chris Lord replied:
Hello Lianne, pleased you liked it - I managed to forget to wear a hat when I rushed out out to shoot that and it took them hours to get her up on deck. I got a crazy sunburn and now I am peering out of tiny squinty eyes through masses of puffy flesh! The things we do for a photograph or two! Thanks so much for making it worthwhile, cheers.
