I would like to point out that if it had been taken with a HTC Desire HD it would have been even better!

Wow, lucky guy! Did the plane follow it for a bit? I'm thinking about the remark on the speaker system at 1:28.

I think it travelled about 59 miles in 2 minutes so they would have had a job!

Hm, yeah I was referring to horizontally getting closer to the action of the launch.

I think they have a 40 mile no fly zone around the launch site.

Good picture of a launch being guarded by an F-15... http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123205663

That definitely makes sense, but on the other hand it doesn't answer the question if they took a detour. Nice picture by the way, thanks.

There is something about those pictures that is making me want to make an airfix model - just for the benefit of my son of course...
