Atlas 5 Rocket Launch Pictures

[DW_Gray]

Hi all,

Amy and I viewed a beautiful rocket launch last night here at Vandenberg AFB, CA. I've attached some pictures for all to see.

BTW, the other Cyclone here has moved next to me. The owner is an AF NCO about to retire. Turns out his wife works in the cubicle next to my son here on base at InDyne, Inc.

Enjoy all the pics by clicking on the following link.

You should stick around they are supposed to launch Minotaur 4 from slick 8 on the 25th at 2141 local. The unique aspect of this mission is they are using motors from the LGM-118 Peacekeeper for power. Peacekeeper being a deactivated ICBM, capable of amazing devastation.
