Photos : Space Shuttle Endeavour's Final Flight

The space shuttle Endeavour, bolted to the top of a jumbo jet, took off on Friday from Edwards Air Force Base for a last airborne victory lap over California en route to its final frontier and retirement home - a science museum in Los Angeles. Riding piggyback on a specially modified Boeing 747, the 75-ton winged spaceship departed at 8:17 a.m. on the final leg of its cross-country trip that started on Wednesday in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The scheduled departure was about an hour later than originally planned due to fog over the San Francisco Bay area. (Reuters)
