Just watched the orbiter Atlantis touch down. Runway 22 was used again (this is the only concrete runway at Edwards). The decision of which runway to use was delayed until the last moment because of cross winds. Scattered clouds in the area made visual sighting of the orbiter difficult until about a minute after the double sonic boom. Another perfect landing!
