I did not get it's arrival but I did catch this shot yesterday atTUS. The Orbital Science's L-1011 N140SC is sitting at Bombardier hangar.

Very cool. 

I was hoping somebody would catch it while it was here.  I'm trapped at my desk!

I miss ATA. They used to run the military transport charters and gave you king size Snickers bars!

Hi Dave,

I have taken pictures of Stargazer on several occasions:

I photographed it when it was C-FTNJ flying for Air Canada in April 1974.

Here it is at Vandenberg AFB on April 9, 1995, six days after it first launched a Pegasus.  

This is a time exposure of the launch of a Pegasus-XL carrying the Wide Field Infra-red Explorer on March 4, 1999.

Stargazer departed from Vandenberg AFB with a Pegasus-XL carrying the High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager on February 1, 2002.

Stargazer returned to Vandenberg following the launch of a Pegasus-XL carrying the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere mission on April 25, 2007.
