Not kilted, but pretty cool anyway
Hi folks
We had the incomparable experience of watching a friend go to work on Friday night. Not your ordinary job, or your ordinary departure for work, though!
Astronaut Jim Reilly is a good friend of ours, and he arranged passes for us to see the launch of STS 117 at one of the close-in viewing areas. Dave took this picture just after liftoff.

And you're asking a bagpiper about hearing.....!?
Seriously, it was an amazing sound. And our shirts were fluttering from the _sound_, not the wind!

Those are fantastic shots, and I'm sooo jealous, I've always wanted to see a space launch.
Best regards,
Jake
