Excellent opportunity to see the International Space Station tonight
and once early Monday morning.

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/index.cfm

At least in the east and maybe the whole US or whole eastern
hemisphere visible for 5 or 6 solid minutes, at high elevation also.

I've already been. Went there on opening day.

I prefer the awesome sight/sound of a 747

I watched NASA's 747 deliver the space shuttle to NYC, fly over, down the
Hudson. That was cool. We're near the end of that era, Boeing is building
less than one a month now, they slowed down the build rate, hoping for
some new freighter orders. Looks like the two new AirForce One's may be
the last ones they ever build. Which would be a fitting way to end it.

My favorite plane now is the 777. Not quite as big, but still impressive.
I flew 16+ hours on one a few years ago, JFK to Hong Kong. Left JFK late morning, by about 3PM it was dark outside, we were nearing the north pole.
That was the best plane ride of my life. First class, I had 3 plane windows
worth of space, 3 flight attendants for 3 passengers and I drank every
booze they had.

The 747 returning the Shuttle to the east coast from the second (? or
3rd?) launch made a detour over the Thiokol plant in Utah that built the
booster motors . We were standing on top of the hill above the (can't name
it , security) facility when it went over ... the pilot waved at us , and we
were nearly knocked over by the jetwash from the plane . To say he was
flyin' low is an understatement ..

Cool!

I just watched the ISS pass overhead. It didn't make much noise. Had a
great view, it was bright and went from SW horizon to NE horizon, passing
almost directly overhead, 6 min trip. Thanks to Micky for the heads up.

I'm afraid the 9:54 PM tonight pass might not be visible here , too low
and too many trees in the way . The 4:38 AM pass tomorrow is going to be
almost directly overhead ...

I just drove over to the lake to see if i could catch a glimpse. It's too cloudy tonight.

Oh well, had to walk the dog anyway.

It will be back when the sky is clear. Check the chart.

Actually it was pretty cloudy here too -- Of course it was dark so
it was hard to tell -- but I think it shone right through the clouds.
