No cheap shot intended toward you. We can talk about Palmdale some other time, but I did confirm that the OMDP was done there. This is Columbia's first flight after.
On September 24, 1999, Columbia was transported to Palmdale California for its second ODMP. While in California, workers will perform more than 100 modifications on the vehicle. Columbia will be the second orbiter outfitted with the multi-functional electronic display system (MEDS) or "glass cockpit".

I was wrong. This was Columbia's second mission after OMDP. STS-109 was last year. Doh!
