Spaceport America runway opens

Well how about this. I decided to shoot the flypast of the White Knight and Spaceship Two combo from a hill south of Spaceport America reasoning it would be a shot that showed the context as well as this event on the day of the dedication of the Spaceport America runway. Little did I know [...]
