Endeavour&#8217;s last hop will take place courtesy of SCA N905NA, as did all the Shuttle ferry flights. You can<a href=\"http:\/\/flightaware.com\/live\/flight\/N905NA\" target=\"_blank\"> type that tail number in at FlightAware<\/a> to produce a list of scheduled flight times and destinations. I also use FlightAware to check on Super Guppy flights (<a href=\"http:\/\/flightaware.com\/live\/flight\/NASA941\" target=\"_blank\">tail number NASA941<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Click on the image above to reach the appropriate spot in NASA&#8217;s flickr stream.
