Yeah, weather never cooperates in Florida on returns haha. Edwards is always the safe bet on re-entry- plus the ridiculously long runway makes for a less stressful landing.

Instead of one of those F-16's flying next to it while it lands, it's gonna be Cheston's DB Z!!!!

I was in Ft. Lauderdale when it took off...It was nuts how fast that thing was going up in to the sky and how well I could see the flames out the back given how far away we were. Would have been cool to listen for the booms.
