I remember the good old days when we could fly much much closer to launches. See my ancient aerial video of a launch from 1994!

We were 60 miles south. Did not see any other planes watching in our area. Was surprised more pilots did not go up for the show. Glad you did. Hope next launch has good viewing.

Yeah we were 50 miles west, it was pretty busy where we were everyone came up from korl because it was on the edge of the TFR.

Very nice view, thanks for sharing! There were people paragliding by us in the Orlando Disney area, I was thinking how nice it must of been for them.
