this morning this was right over the top of my house ! it's the final flight to end up at an LA Museum.
the crowds went to downtown Sacramento by the Capitol,traffic and parking was a nightmare on the news,but we stayed home and got these pics,these are from our front porch.
it was pretty dam cool,gave me goose bumps !

It flew over where I work... twice! Unfortunately I only had my phone camera so I don't have anything near as impressive as Dan's pics.
