Default Saw it go past...... (Hampton, VA)

Us too... Hampton, VA right on Hampton roads, straight North, from the
Norfolk Naval Station carrier piers.

Great Arc, SSW to ENE, saw Main Engine shutdown, then a series of wink in
and outs as tank was released and the OMS where pumped. then a slow fade.

Had my laptop running with NASA TV, and the launch on ORBITER (about 1 mike
ahead of real time) to match what I saw to the events. BTW wireless, laptop
and NASA TV, great combo.

Break, course the 10 year daughter was inside watching Jim O on TV.
