Nike Smoke high power rocket launch O4500

This is my 3/4 scale 200lb Nike Smoke flying to 11,300' on propellant designed to simulate the Space Shuttle SRBs. We were test flying an on-screen display unit which overlays flight info on the video - worked well and subsequent versions included mph & gps coordinates display. The flapping is gaffers tape on the camera coming loose at 650mph.

Thanks! No, actually it was back in fall 2005, the year before MDRA started calling their 3 day launches Red Glare. I posted it on Vimeo some time ago and put it here tonight because I'm updating vahpr.com and there's a photo page there of this particular flight.
