Flight 4

Suzy Sprague sent me a few pictures. First a pre-flight photo while I am hanging around waiting for another rocket to clear safety check in.

Then the launch picture.

Richard Ng got a very nice picture as well:

Alas neither camera captured the vivid red color of the motor. I don't know if it is the fault of the camera or the display. The best I ever did doing that was with Fuji Velvia Film. Better than Kodak Kodachrome but harder to find. At the time anyway.

One interesting thing is that this flight was straighter than the L850 flight. There was a substantial breeze both times and the slower liftoff of the K780 should have resulted in more of a turn into the wind.
