Space shuttle Endeavour is in Ft. Worth, Texas, after completing the first day of a trek across the country from California to Florida. Endeavour, riding atop a modified 747, left Edwards Air Force Base in California on Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. EST. The aircraft and shuttle made a refueling stop at Biggs Army Air Field in El Paso, Texas, before taking off for the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, formerly Carswell AFB in Ft. Worth Texas. The flight landed there at about 4:12 p.m. EST.

The next leg of the ferry flight will depend on weather conditions between Ft. Worth and NASA's Kennedy Space Center on the east coast of Florida.
