I wish I was on board that flight. If Air Canada wanted a little extra money, they should’ve charged the recorder with a thirty dollar recording fee. they would have put a surcharge fee on the recorder, but didnt want to be in the heat when the guy files a lawsuit against them.
That has to be a good 50-100 miles away. I’d say that’s enough clearance. The FAA typically restricts all aircraft within 30-40 miles, and this aircraft is definitely farther away than that.
The lack of smoke at the bottom, the lack of light while after one minute, and the angle of launch tell me that this isn’t the same. All Shuttle launches since 2005 have had the same inclination (STS-125 will be the first different inclination of launch since STS-107 in 2003). The Shuttle travels faster heading downrange than in altitude. It just doesn’t seem real. I would be interested in an actual date of the video to confirm my beliefs.
