Atlantis landing at Columbus Air Force Base

A couple of weeks ago the Space Shuttle Atlantis was traveling back to Florida from California after a mission. They had to stop and refuel at Columbus AFB, so we got to watch it land and taxi down the runway! It was a really amazing sight...it traveled strapped to the back of a 747. We took a trip to Little Dooey's afterwards for lunch. It was such a fun day at Will's work. Something tells me there wasn't much "work" taking place at the base that day, because everyone and their families were out on the runway to watch this historical event. I think the Atlantis only has 2 more missions in space before it will be retired.
