NASA:

NASA’s 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) with space shuttle Discovery mounted atop will fly approximately 1,500 feet above various parts of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, April 17.

The flight, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, is scheduled to occur between 10 and 11 a.m. EDT. NASA Television and the agency’s web site will provide live coverage.

The aircraft is expected to fly near a variety of landmarks including the National Mall, Reagan National Airport, National Harbor and the Smithsonian’s Udvar-Hazy Center. When the flyover is complete, the SCA will land at Dulles International Airport.

If you’re lucky enough to live in the area, grab your camera and get some shots of this fly-over.

Probably not the best idea considering the last time the FAA allowed low-flying aircraft around a national monument. At least they gave warning this time.

*The Facebook version. I have no problem with their iOS app. It’s great.

I’d rather not spam my Facebook friends with every god damn action from Word with Friends. So I turned off the application’s ability to post to my Facebook Timeline. All good, right? Wrong.

When I go to play a game, however, it gives me this message. Zynga is using a ‘best game experience’ to mask this blatant disregard of privacy rights.

And that’s not right.
