Pictures of Shuttle Endeavor on 9/21/2012 as it takes its victory lap over Los Angeles before final landing at LAX to begin grooming for a permanent place in the California Science Center. These shots were taken as the shuttle flew over NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab near Pasadena. Exciting sight as it flew overhead at 1500 ft!
