Here are three very cool photographs of NASA 911 and the orbiter Endeavour taken from an escort F-18 during its recent cross-country return from Edwards Air Force Base in California.Endeavour and seven astronauts landed at the Mojave Desert military base on Nov. 30, capping a highly successful mission to outfit the International Space Station for crews of six. Stiff crosswinds and approaching thunderstorms prompted NASA to forego two opportunities to land at Kennedy Space Center. It was the 52nd shuttle landing at Edwards in 124 shuttle flights to date.
