CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A U.S. Navy F-18 Hornet lands at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Aboard are Blue Angel pilots Lt. Frank Weisser and Lt. Dan McShane. They flew into Kennedy to begin preparations for their involvement in the second annual Space & Air Show at Kennedy Space Center Nov. 8-9. The air show will be only the second time the Blue Angels have performed at Kennedy. Their precision flight team will perform high-speed passes, fast rolls, mirror formations, tight turns and their signature Delta formation showcasing the capabilities of the powerful aircraft. The 2008 Space & Air Show will include aircraft displays and space-related exhibits on the ground and plenty of action in the skies over Kennedy. Returning to the show is the 920th Rescue Wing, an Air Force Reserve Command combat search and rescue unit based at Patrick Air Force Base in Central Florida. Also, more than 20 astronauts and special guests will be on hand to personally meet guests, pose for photos and sign memorabilia. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
