Vette(s): 1977 Coupe (White), 2006 Convertible (Victory Red). NCM Life Member #2221.
 
 
 
 
In 1981, which was the first year of the first flight of the Space Shuttle, began a new era when the C3 generation was just about to end. 
 
The Space Shuttle era will end very soon (within a year most likely with mission delays) with the C6.
 
Befitting the photo opportunities given the other driver and myself to pose in front of Discovery on Launch Pad A, 19 March 2010, we mark the history of both the Space Shuttle and the Corvette by bookending with Shuttle program with the enclosed photo! The driver of the 1980 is Jerry Wojcieszak, married, and also owners of a 2004 roadster.

Great pics John! I spent a little time at the space center myself as a Lockheed employee. I love Titusville. I guess you guys are parked on the crawler road?
