SPAATZEN IN SPACE

In a spectacular night launch, Space Shuttle Endeavour lifts off from Kennedy Space Center with Air Force Colonel Eric Boe, Spaatz #648, at the controls. Eric is the orbiter's pilot and second in command for STS-126, which will rendezvous with the International Space Station during its 15-day flight. The first Spaatz Award recipient to travel into space, Eric carried his Spaatz Association commemorative challenge coin with him into orbit. The coin will be permanently displayed at CAP's National Headquarters following Endeavour's return to Earth. (NASA photo)
