Mini 3 Space X Falcon Heavy USSF-67 1.15.23 at 3x speed from Naples Florida 165 mi away w/DJI Mini 3 Pro

Launch at about 5:56pm EST. Watch for the Boosters separation (0.56), burn during return (2:08) and even a little flash just before landing (2:34)! Used DJI Mini 3 Pro at 4K Video and 2X Zoom. Video at 3X Speed. Very Clear Evening. IMO pretty amazing for this little drone.

Years ago, I was launch pad OIC for a military missile launch at Cape Canaveral (Air Force side of Cape Kennedy). Got to see the thing launch from a few hundred yards away. Since this was a solid fuel missile, it was fast. You can't believe how fast it went.
A few years later, I was in grad school in Santa Barbara, CA. One evening, I saw a tongue of flame on the western horizon - a missile launch from Vandenberg AFB up the coast. Amazing....
Yes, these launches are a remarkable sight. Everyone should have the chance to see one at least once...
