Corvettes and Space Shuttles!!

vettejack · 03-19-2010, 02:05 PM

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.

Wow. I really like the photos. I would really like to get a photo of my vette like that. Is it possible? Thanks for any suggestions.

is loosened up a bit before final flight of the Shuttles, you won't have personal access to the Space Center. The only way to have your car pictured with the Orbiter like the ones I took, it for me to drive your car on the Center and then out to the Pad, while you wait at the Visitor Center or Badging Office. I know that sucks, but its really the only way to do it. I have done it once before...with Mr. Blue' s radical '66!!

Then thru this site and communications with me here, would the opportunity for such a photo be possible. All that depends on when the date and time is released for us to have another photo op for the final 3 missions after this one goes up in April. Keep in mind as well...it would take over an hour to use your car and do this out at the Pad and that includes the travel time back and forth from outside the gate.

A couple of more photos are included to tease u a bit...

Wow, thanks for the fast response. How do I check on when the shuttle is rolled out to the launch pad? They show the launch dates but I don't see the roll out dates. And what's the best way to contact you as the roll out dates come up? Thanks again. Mark
