Unfortunately, with the high inclination orbit, and the decision to land at
the first orbital opportunity, the flight path looked like this:
BC -> MT -> ND -> MN -> IA -> IL -> IN -> KY -> TN -> GA -> FL
Certainly a long way from Tulsa... and Ohio. ;-) We were able to monitor
ham radio comms on this flight several times, but didn't have any luck
contacting the shuttle. No visible passes, though. We had clouds every
day of the mission! :-(
