Awesome to see, so much power!

Excuse me, 13,000 MPH now.

8 minutes to go 64 miles!

That is so amazing.

13,000 MPH now. That must be the most incredible feeling, being aboard.

I didn't see the Contrail....I usually have no problems seeing it from Tarpon Springs...it's a litte hazy but usually you can significantly see the fire trail and the contrail. Any other Floridians see the trail?

15,000. wow


speeding up thousands of miles per hour before I can even review my last post.

I know...I called my Mom who lives a little closer to that Coast, she didn't see a trail either. Is anyone real Close to the East Coast that can verify?
