SpaceX Rocket Launch and Booster Recovery

Post by RMarkSampson »

Fellow Diamond Flyers,
Turns out Diamonds are a sky-gazing pilot's best friend. My daughter and I flew over by Cape Canaveral to watch the SpaceX launch and got to experience what all of us Diamond Flyers already know - the view out the canopy is superior. Watching the night launch was simply spectacular. Unfortunately my cockpit mounted GoPro could not capture everything we could see looking toward the heavens - but it still did a good job. Enjoy my quick video production of our flight. High-wing Cessnas should stay earth-bound...this is a mission best executed by a Diamond!
