This is the Space Shuttle Challenger that was lost during launch in January 1986. I took this image in November 1985 after Challengers last successful space flight. Here she is mounted on top of a NASA Boeing 747 at Edwards AFB California preparing to return to The Cape in Florida. This was taken very early in the morning - Effects created with PSE7 and the NIK Solarization filter. With Space Shuttle flights becoming “Routine” I was the only person photographing on this morning…..

A copy of the image from the scanned nagative is in the comments section!

  Good Morning Jeff
Nothing Routine about That
Isn't it amazing how the Shuttle seems dwarfed on top on the 747
Fantastic Effects

  Wow! Awesome capture, Jeff! Doesn't seem that long ago - the Challenger disaster - yet it was; another of those days so many of us now recall with crystal clarity. Your effects are fabulous!
