I'm just south of there, and I wonder if it went overhead here too......I saw a huge shadow and heard an incredible roar...........I wonder! Didn't see anything, though.

Such a historic moment!

from the normal east to west approach.

It was flying really low as it went by me, so it looked huge!!!

Had to watch it online, and GAWD the smog is horrible today. It's not always like this, folks. Honest.
