The Cologne/Bonn airport served as one of 19 non-american abort landing sites throughout the shuttle program.

    xplanes: “…For every military pilot knew where the apex of the great ziggurat was located. You could point it out on a map. The place was Edwards Air Force Base in the high desert 150 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Everyone knew who resided there, too, although their actual status was never put into words. Not only that, everyone knew the name of the individual who ranked foremost in the Olympus, the ace of all the aces, as it were, among the true brothers of the right stuff.” (via)

    From the excellent aerocatures.com (Hank Caruso does outstanding work). Sum’s up my feelings on N.A.S.A. ending the shuttle program perfectly.

    Iranian F-14 Tomcat escorting two Russian Su-27 Flankers of the Russian Knights aerobatic team. Interesting to see some of the (79) F-14 Tomcats the U.S. sold Iran back in the seventies still flying (and looking good)! Wish I could say the same for the U.S. Navy F-14’s being ground up into scrap at A.M.A.R.C. as I type this….
