After an overnight stop at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Ft. Worth, Texas, the ferry flight team has decided on another stopover tonight before giving the go-ahead for the piggy-backed shuttle to return to Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft took off from Ft. Worth at 12:08 p.m. EST and is expected to arrive at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana around 2 p.m. and remain there until Friday.

An advancing cold front moving in on Kennedy, preceded by high winds and storms will not allow a smooth flight and landing for the dynamic duo today.

The crosswinds at Kennedy are forecasted to subside and the carrier aircraft with Endeavour perched on top is scheduled to arrive at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility no earlier than 2 p.m. Friday.
