Space Shuttle launch photographed from the air
This image of the Space Shuttle Columbia blasting off the launch pad was photographed from altitude by NASA Astronaut John W. Young aboard the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) on November 12, 1981.
It’s a viewpoint not commonly seen and is absolutely awesome imo.
