"These pictures tell the story of a typical Habu launch: the launch truck follows the blackbird to the end of the runway, systems are checked, the engines are run-up and checked, the chocks are finally removed, the plane takes off." - Steven Myatt





In this photo I was riding in the launch truck (a Dodge step-van) as it was following 979 to the end of the runway. I took a picture from inside the cab as both the van and the blackbird were rolling along at 35mph. Really cool shot. - Steven Myatt
