Jimmy,
The ground tracks are shown here.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts121/mission_docs/landing.html
It's more of an ocean track than a ground track, and it's too far south to be
visible from Arizona. I doubt that another Shuttle will approach the Cape from
the northwest over populated regions of the U.S. after Columbia's
disintigration.
