   Slams to the ground??

   Um. Steve. It looks like you took this picture straight up.

   Don’t die… please. We would like to see more pictures in the future.

   (Related note — my Oracle arrived in the mail!!!)

   True Dat! And anything with a big enough motor to get it to escape velocity will fly forever! Sounds like a fun weekend. 🙂

   Great shot! What a spectacular billowing smoke cloud! Did you hear what size engine they had to use to get that airborne?

   heh… it sure makes it fun…

   

   Erik: I think Orvis said an E, but I think it had to be at least an F. The smoke is thickest when it does a loop and changes direction. The aerodynamics of stacked cones instead of fins must throw RockSim for a loop too…

   Oddwick: Yes, it went directly overhead and I had the motor drive clicking the whole way. I got four great shots out of the stream.

   Zenera: You read my mind! You need to hear these… My next photo post will oblige…

   very cool idea. It begs the question: which song to play?

   Imagine Ride of the Valkyries blasting down from above…

   Hi, I’m an admin for a group called not intended for use as, and we’d love to have your photo added to the group.
   I’m enjoying your photostream a lot, but this one in particular.
