ANN Publisher Jim Campbell, flying just feet away from Scaled's
SpaceShipOne in a Beechcraft Starship chase plane, was the first to report
some indications of possible thermal or load damage on the aft portion of
the spacecraft, just in front of the rocket bell. --

Wow!!! Flying just "feet" away!!! Did Zoom get his space wings also???

Cute!

N328KF - 328,000 ft = 100km


They wanted N100KM but it was already assigned. Bummer.

The launch was probably better seen on TV ...

I'll credit Pat Panzera with having captured the defining picture though:

Yuppers..... You can just imagine all those NASA and public trough
government people watching the spaceship being towed back to the hanger
by a pickup truck with a couple of average joes sitting on the
tailgate.

of all things a Beechcraft Starship!
