RE: A final glimpse of the Space Shuttles before they left for the museums
Thanks for the great post. I am happy you were able to experience this.
I do not work for NASA but growing up 10 minutes from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, and later working in fields/companies closely related, the space program has always been a part of my life. I was fortunate enough to participate in a non-public, behind scenes directors tour of the Johnson Space Center a few years before the shuttle program ended. It was an amazing experience.
Finally, on the day of Endeavor's final flight from Florida to California, they made a low altitude fly-by in Houston to honor the city's role in the space program. I was fortunate enough to witness that event. Here is the Endeavor as it flies over Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
