Beautiful !!

A visitor from Slovenia posted Fri October 27, 2006:
Incredible, how coloration of the smoke turns from bright white thru yellow and orange to gray. And mirror image reflected on the wing is impressive. Wonder how loud was the launch from up there!

A visitor from United States posted Tue September 19, 2006:
Saw this live as well... flying a C-5B into Navy JAX when this launch occurred. Sunset on my right wing, full moon on my left, and the amazing colors in the trail caused by the sunset... and then breaking into the full sunlight. Once in a lifetime view. Thanks for the pic !

A magnificent combination of the trail, the moon and the reflection. A superb example of "being in the right place at the right time". Thanks for posting it on this wonderful site.

What an amazing shot, couldn't have planed it any better, with the sun light reflecting in the back ground and in the shuttles smoke trail... beautiful!

A visitor from United States posted Sun December 25, 2005:
Great colors! I used to live in Florida and would watch the Shuttle launches from the ground. It look even more spectacular from the air!

Its wonderfull

A visitor from Australia posted Mon December 12, 2005:
Wow!

A visitor from United States posted Thu November 24, 2005:
Only ~80 years after the Wright Brother's first flight, we make an airplane that flies about 583 times faster than that first airplane, about 21,120 times higher, about 72,000 times longer, carrying 7 times the amount of people, and 7,472 times the weight. A truly remarkable vehicle.

A visitor from Canada posted Sun November 13, 2005:
Once in a lifetime shot-absolutely beautiful.
