Freaking awesome! Never realized the attitude of the shuttle is so high.

Tristan...I don't know if it's still relevant, but during the flight tests of the shuttle, the carrier would go in to a shallow dive before releasing the shuttle. The increased angle of attack allowed the shuttle to separate quickly. Wow! I'm getting flashbacks!

I'm sensing there's a lot of deep interest out there for the shuttle. This was an awesome site to see and I feel very lucky to have been able to capture it.
