NASA pilots Jack Nickel (in the jet with tail number 62) and Charles Justiz fly over for a bird’s eye view of two shuttles on the launch pad. Shuttle Atlantis is in the foreground and Endeavour can be seen in the distance on the launch pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The two are flying T-38 jet trainer aircraft.
