Goodday friends!

 

In April/May I made a trip to the USA. One of the things I have visited was the launch of Spaceshuttle Atlantis on mission STS-132 to the International Space Station.

Hereby I'd love to share some of the pictures I made during it's launch! Other stuff of my trip will follow later on in the OH - North America topic.

 

I hope you enjoy these shots from Florida

Fantastic !!!

 

Great sequence of shots....how much did you 'blow up' the last 3 pictures ?

 

Did you enjoy the roar of the rocket ?

 

Thanks a lot for sharing

BTW, this is the last launch of shuttle Atlantis, which will be retired after 25yrs of service.

 

This is from The Sun...post-911 it is customary for USAF to maintain air security.
