Thanks. Only pictures I will probably get to see.
Interesting about FL, you have to top a bridge to see anything.

You are a doll for posting the pictures and sharing your experience with the last shuttle.

We saw a glimpse before it hit the clouds in Daytona, Great photos, thanks for posting.

Excellent pics!
I saw a rare night launch of the Endeavor a few years back, from not quite as good a vantage point, but still a clear view. Awesome!

I heard it estimated at a million and a half, the bridge was solid with people.

Great stuff!
I was in FL on vacation in 1981 at the time of the very first Shuttle launch, and we parked along the beach the Friday of the scheduled event. Unfortunately, it got scrubbed for a few days, and I had to get back to work that weekend since my job was still fairly new. I never did get down that way for future launches, and will always regret not risking staying there to witness history.

Great Pictures! Do you know we held briefly at T-31 seconds?? I would be interested to hear what was broadcast as what happened. I was in the firing room so we never hear what the media put our there.

I forgot my radio, had so much gear hung on the mobility scooter it was ridiculous anyway, LOL.
When the bomb squad showed up there were a lot of nervous people.
