Harris said that the early morning landing scheduled for STS-4 at Edwards Air Force Base will probably not provide a landing in cross winds, which prevail at KSC. He said that the shuttle flight in the spring of 1983 will probably be the first to land at KSC. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
