Discoverry landed at Edwards Air Force Base

With its signature sonic boom, shuttle lands at Edwards
The space shuttle Discovery landed this afternoon at Edwards Air Force Base, complete with its signature sonic boom heard across Southern California.
The shuttle glided down over Los Angeles and landed on the runway without incident.
Unstable weather on the East Coast forced Discovery to land at Edwards instead of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida
