HOUSTON - The U.S. space agency says the shuttle Endeavour will honour former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords with a flyover of her Arizona hometown on its way to the California museum where it will be displayed.
NASA spokeswoman Lisa Malone says Thursday's flyover was requested by Giffords' husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, who was the last person to fly the shuttle.
Giffords resigned from Congress earlier this year to focus on her recovery from wounds suffered in a gunman's attack last year in which six people were killed.
Malone says the flyover gives NASA the chance to recognize Giffords' legacy as a longtime advocate and champion of U.S. spaceflight.
