Lived here in Seattle all my life and I can tell you right now this NEVER HAPPENED. Nope, no way... It's a hoax! a good hoax but still... a completely FAKED picture.

April Fools. I hope most people got this right away and did not wait until the last few lines of the text to get the disclaimer.

said steedcan 2007.04.02 at 15:41:27 PDT

this is just plan silly! The space shuttle drops like a rock in a controlled fall and can not mantain level flight.

said thedude001 2007.04.02 at 13:43:09 PDT

said johnny81 2007.04.02 at 12:17:08 PDT

Yes I agree, it looks as if the space shuttle is a flat on image however the refueling jet is turned away on a slight angle further they would never do a refueling at such a low altitude, further the space shuttle has been build to fly as a glider on returns and can not fire it's engines for inner atmospheric flights, for this it can only be flown piggy back on a specially designed 747. The space shuttle also does not have in flight refueling capabilities. Nice try brainer..

said kentek 2007.04.02 at 09:28:15 PDT

Thanks for the Humor shots, they reminded me of a composite shot circulating during the Viet Nam era in Nam, of the astronauts stepping from the space shuttle onto the moon surface, with a cow patty beneath the ladder on the moon."Giant step for mankind"..

APRIL FOOL! (Google's free broadband gag was better)

said Keithwarner100 2007.04.01 at 20:57:37 PDT

HEY, HEY, HEY I wish the people of this country, the U.S.A. were all stupid ... unfortunately, we are not.About the picture, there is a grievous misalignment between the shuttle and the tanker. This is a NO NO in midair refueling.The light armoured carrier looks like a hunk of wall in the foreground. The carrier's island appears to be a make-shift shack in the rivers of Hanoi or Singapore. Without the space needle, the whole edificious scene looks like Hongkong. And outside of this picture, to the knowledge of even the boy scouts of America, the shuttle's engine cost millions of dollars to design for tremendous thrust which is not available from the burning of aviation fuel. Pardon me but I am still looking for some wrecks in this image.

said spectra131 2007.04.01 at 14:05:20 PDT

This is a fascinating picture, and just as fascinating is what someone can do to create composite images. I first thought that the Shuttle had actually flown by Seattle and was curious when it had happened. Then I read the details of the picture.

said timotito2004 2007.04.01 at 14:01:02 PDT

,,,,,I did not know...that the Space shuttle was so much of a National ICON on the "1st of April"....and i have to thank you to have awakened me to all of those unknown daily activities THROUGH THIS SLIDESHOW ,,,I WAS CARRIED AWAY,,,TOTALLY,,,fatheres by the armed forces for the sole purpose of "entertaining the american peoples"....and keep them from being bored by life..freely...GREAT EFFORT AND KEEP ON GOING...good work....efficient...grati fying....simply amazing training and realizations..........for free

Thank you for this cool photo. My name is Aviation Ordnamceman 1st Class Donald Jackson and is currently attached to the BHR. I made that visit to Seattle ( my first) and it is truly a beautiful city. I'm also a big fan of the Space Shuttle program since I was a kid, and to see this picture on the internet is simply awesome. I would like to send this out to the rest of my BHR shipmates so we all can enjoy. Once again, thank you. D.J.

said NeelyMargory 2007.04.01 at 08:38:54 PDT

Usually,The same operation isn't used above the populated cities like Seattle,Houston.etc.If the action fulfiled above desert area,the photo would be more realistic and advantageous.So,it's only 1st april shot.

Great shot-whoever took it-got everything important in it. Refueling in the air still amazes me-even though I have seen it done on tv lots of times..still quite a feat. Congradulations on POTD and NASA.

WOW! I'm a little timid on saying anything. I am, well, let's just say I know some about both programs with the Space Shuttle and NASA quite well! Not on an official basis but still. I may be a little "red faced" at this moment, and it IS 4 o'clock in the Morning! so, I will use THAT as an excuse! I read it interestingly, something wrong?..... and then, ..the reminder. But, Concrats!!! This is a very well done piece! I have not luaghed this hard in 5 Years! (Mostly at myself!)
