Vern Knowles' Coldfire - Fire in the Sky 2010 - 5/30/10

My only video from FITS this year. I was out recovering one of my flights when the flight for Coldfire was announced. In preparation to film it from the launch site, I had my camera with me, so I decided to see what I'd get from where I was (roughly 1/4 mile away). What I did get was some very shaky (I was using one of my hands to attempt to block the wind from hitting the mic) video in which the announcements from Kate, a synthesized voice reporting data from an on-board GPS data, can barely be heard. The hybrid motor that Coldfire launched on, however, sounds cool, and I got some good footage of the "up" part of the flight.

He always flies hybrids when he's not at his home launches! I've only seen him fly one!
