Photos from the TE's visit to KSC. But first, some preliminary and interesting formalities from Wikipedia:

The John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is one of ten National Aeronautics and Space Administration field centers, and is NASA's Center of Excellence for launch and payload processing systems.  Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of human spaceflight since December 1968. Launch operations for the Project Mercury, Project Gemini all the numerous Saturn/Apollo missions, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center and managed by KSC.
Located on Merritt Island, Florida, the center is north-northwest of Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic Ocean.

There are about 700 facilities grouped across the center's 144,000 acres. Among the unique facilities at KSC are the 525 ft tall Vehicle Assembly Building (the VAB) for stacking NASA's largest rockets, Operations and Checkout Building which houses the astronaut crew quarters, and 3-mile-long Shuttle Landing Facility.

Nicholas and I were honored and humbled to host the TE here in Central Florida.  We put 3 runs on her for a total of about 12 minutes with our high RPM being recorded around 19,000 with the 5x3 prop. We were using Cox 25% nitro fuel. There's an engine run video on the previous page of this thread.

Long live the traveling engine and the CEF!

Greg & Nicholas
