Re: Sad to see it go
Once saw one go vertical, then back off on the power, falling (slowly) vertically down towards the ground, and only putting on full power 100ft (or so it seemed) from the ground, to start ascending again.
I've seen space rockets take off, but they were not a patch on that Vulcan for spectacle, and the shaking effect was not dissimilar.
Someone got in a lot of trouble for the Vulcan stunt, so I'm keeping my anonymous head down.
