[AZ-Observing] 747 and Shuttle

The Shuttle ferry took off from Edwards AFB at 8:31 this morning. Their first
stop is Altus AFB in Oklahoma, which is nearly due east from Edwards. A Great
Circle would pass quite a bit north of Phoenix, perhaps at the latitude of
Prescott or Flagstaff. NASA does not describe the flight path, though. It is
flying at 10,000 feet, and pretty slowly. One would expect it to pass over
northern Arizona maybe between 10:00 and 11:00.
