Good to know that the F-22s actually fly and are good for something.

I was in a 4-way "Shuttle Jump" in Deland that had a video and a photo diver following us. We exited as soon as we saw the engines ignite...the Shuttle was out of frame just as we broke off. This photo reminded me of how cool that jump was that morning.

Don't get me wrong, the F-22 looks better than we did...but it was still cool.

Nice perspective. I would like to see a shuttle launch at the Cape once. I think it has to be breathtaking to see it live.

If I didn't state already, great pic! Mom lives not far from there. She's always writing and telling about the rumble and the smoke trail, etc, like a little kid.

She said thanks for the different perspective as I sent her a copy of your pic, Kyo.

Thanks!
