Shuttle Discovery atop its 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft are back in the air for today’s third and final ferry flight leg.
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft departed Ft. Worth Naval Air Station, Texas at about 5:50 p.m. EDT headed for Barksdale Air Force Base in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The team plans to stay at Barksdale overnight and then finish the cross-country ferry flight by returning to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Monday morning.
