The space shuttle Endeavour was flown on Thursday on the back of a modified 747 airplane from Texas to California, where it will eventually be transported to its final home, the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

As with the other shuttles on their final flights, NASA flew the Endeavour low over certain areas, including Houston, where it landed on Wednesday for a layover, and again on Thursday morning; Houston is the home of the Johnson Space Center.

Below is a NASA video of Endeavour being flown low over Houston.
