From Florida Today: quote:
Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building is proudly flying its huge U.S. flag again.Monday morning, workers on scaffolding put the finishing touches on repair work to the 209-foot-tall flag painted on the side of the center's -- and the Space Coast's -- biggest and most visible building. About 450 feet above the ground, painters repaired and repainted portions of the flag defaced by a pair of hurricanes that slammed the east coast of Florida in 2004.

After eight months of work since the hurricanes, it's amazing how much they've done in the week and a half since AHOF.
There were still crews working constantly everytime I saw the VAB that weekend.------------------
