I thought they did.
Nope. Landed just before dawn in Florida. I woke up at like 3 am to watch the deorbit burn and follow it down.

Speaking of...nothing beat being able to watch it from Sanford at night. I remember watching Columbia take off from the window in our conference room in Lake Mary... and then waking up just for the twin booms that shook everything just enough. Longest 15 minutes ever when those booms didn't come and (as we know now) they locked down MC...then 45 minutes later WFLD had the footage from Texas. I went over to Cocoa Beach for the first flight back after it and was underwhelmed by the launch itself. The beach being packed reminded me of those old shots of the crowds in the Mercury days.
