It is quite a shame to hear that they may impose even more airspace restrictions around the KSC (they already have a continuous restricted area for 5000' and below). It used to allow transition from north to south much easier if you could remain 5 NM to the west of their shuttle landing runway (remaining over the 'Intracoastal Waterway'), but this may soon come to an end.
I never had a chance to take the "Shuttle Tour," however, I have recently flown above their continuous restricted area on July 3, 2001. On this day, the NASA folks had 2 shuttles deployed on the 2 launch pads--a rare photographic opportunity which has happened only 13 times in the past.
Yes, I took advantage of this situation, unknown of the fact until I was right on top of the sight. Picture was taken with a 35mm film camera (a digital camera would never produce a viewable picture from 6,500 feet up and 3 NM laterally away). It now hangs on my wall enlarged to a 20 inch by 30 inch photo.
