I live in RIC, yesterday my father and I flew down to DAB for a daytrip and to see the shuttle take-off. Our plane arrived at 10:17 and we got outside to look for it. We keep on waiting and then we see some people staring and pointing. It was behind the int'l terminal building so we run over and caught it about 10 secs after it took off. It was pretty cool to see the flame shooting through the sky. Too bad we didn't quite see it take off though. We figured it was about 40 miles away because by the time the loud "boom" got to us it was about 5 minutes later. Do the math...
