Default Final mission for Space Shuttle Endeavour ends in Los Angeles

"Space Shuttle Endeavour has completed its final flight on
its trek from Florida to Los Angeles where the shuttle will
be placed on public display.

The mission began on 18 September when Endeavour,
aboard its modified Boeing 747 carrier, left Kennedy Space
Center in Florida for the first leg of its journey, landing at
Ellington Field in Houston. This followed a low-level flyover
of some of the city’s landmarks."

"The flight was be the last ferry flight of the space shuttle
era, capping nearly 35 years of shuttles riding atop modified
747s, counting the approach and landing tests conducted
by Enterprise in 1977."
