Thanks for posting this video! I was on board for this flight...it's great to see what it looked like form the outside.

Thanks!

sooo... what happened to the JATO takeoff?

[PowerFlanker]

@crazypk40 Well I don't know. I was awaiting for JATO, but by some reason it didn't happen...

@PowerFlanker They used up the last of the JATO bottles in 2009. There will never be another.

@PchanStitch Thanks for the info! I didn't know that...

@PowerFlanker Pretty unfortunate really, they had a nice stockpile, but when Hurricane Ivan hit in 2004, the hanger containing the supply got flooded, destroying most of the JATO bottles. Ever since, they only did JATOs at very select locations due to the limited amount, until they fired the last of them at Pensacola's show in 2009.

@PchanStitch Thanks! Very much appreciated!

@retiredMarinewife Thanks for the comment! I'm not sure if the video is good since it was captured with Canon 60D DSLR. And it's raw. I think I'm going to post process it.
