Notes:

Sadly, this will never be seen again. The Space Shuttle Endeavour sits atop NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft as she is brought out of the air for the last time. This final flight left Edwards Air Force Base and did a fly over salute to the many communities that contributed to the program over the years.

It is difficult to describe the feeling of departing SNA, but hopefully this photo helps illustrate some of the procedure: First, engines are generally throttled up while the brakes are applied, takeoff roll and intial climb happen quickly on the 5701' runway, climbout is usually at a higher pitch than most normal departures, and after initial climb the engines are throttled back before a left hand turn is performed to follow the Newport Bay topography
