Scott Manley | Flying To Catch SpaceX Rocket Launch @scottmanley | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
I live 250miles north of Vandenberg space force base, I can sometimes see launches under the right lighting conditions, but now I fly planes I have the option of getting a bit closer in a relatively short time compared to the hours and hours it would take to drive the distance. In addition the extra altitude would let me be above intervening clouds, and see further over the curvature of the Earth, potentialy to see the the entry burn which happens hundreds of miles downrange from the launch site.
