The possible next generation manned launch vehicle, the Ares 1, launched today from Kennedy Space Center. The Ares 1-X test launch was spectacular. Go NASA!

2010 Cocoa Beach Air Show Pictures
Today and yesterday I had a chance to watch the Cocoa Beach Air Show. One of the best pictures I took was of the F-16 from the Viper Team East Heritage Flight with a Korean War era F-86 Sabre.
Here is the F-16 alone as it streaks downward.
A C-17 with it’s landing gear down.
These two are of a F/A-18 Hornet.
Here a HC-130 performs a refueling exercise with two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters from the 920th Rescue Wing stationed at Patrick AFB.
The Geico Skytypers were lighting up the sky with messages.
The show opening featured the Skytypers, the Golden Knights and a Biplane.
