Mission Specialist Kathryn D. Sullivan's camera skills show that the view of Launch Pads 39A and 39B from a T-30 trainer is unforgettable. Sullivan took the pictures as she and fellow Space Shuttle Mission STS-31 crew members flew into KSC on April 22. In the foreground, the Shuttle Discovery is poised on Pad B, and in the distance, Columbia rolls out to Pad A. While Sullivan flew with STS-31 Pilot Charles F. Bolden Jr., Mission Commander Loren J. Shriver and Mission Specialist Steven A. Hawley flew alongside in T-38 #918, and Mission Specialist Bruce McCandless II and NASA Pilot Mario Runco flew in T-38 #907. STS-31 is set to lift off from Pad B at 8:31 a.m. EDT, April 24.
