Shuttle Endeavour Headed Home To Florida

BIGGS ARMY AIRFIELD, Texas (AP) - The space shuttle Endeavour is
making a pit stop in Texas on its way home to Cape Canaveral, Fla.
A jumbo jet with the shuttle riding piggyback left Edwards Air
Force Base, Calif., Wednesday morning. The aircraft is scheduled to
stay overnight at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort
Worth and then leave Thursday at sunrise.
The shuttle, depending on weather, will arrive at Kennedy Space
Center in Florida either Thursday or Friday.
Endeavour was supposed to leave California on Sunday, but a
technical delay and bad weather postponed the trip.
The shuttle landed in California on Nov. 30 because storms hit
the main Florida landing site. The cross-country ferry costs more
than $1.8 million.
