    @Planefun Yeah, but you're forgetting VAFB where NRO launches occur.

    Titan 4 was a major program. Never part of it. I dealt with various gov satellites, and their costs and designs and control rooms. Haven't worked with launch systems in many years. @Planefun

    @Planefun Ouch! 1993, a blemish on the GPS record. Fyi, I only directed Lockheed-Martin on how to build the SV, not the launch vehicle....which had a terminal servo actuator problem.

    @Planefun congrats on seeing the shuttle and Space X. My only visits to Florida's CCAFS regarded GPS launches on Delta II vehicles, over a decade ago. Business travel.

    @Insertname Since I delete dozens of prior posts, including thousands of votes (the moderators tell me to stop doing this) I suggest you follow Delphinus and SpiritusRaptor for quality models. Just a thought.

    @Planefun California (Burbank up to 1990, Tehachapi lately, my property in Texas TBD) Sonic boom, in fact, happened only once when the former Space Shuttle landed at Vandenberg. The pilot who flew the SR71 over LosAngeles was polite, subsonic. The airshows at Edwards AFB still allow supersonic fly-overs.

    I like seeing the progress most users make. It's kind of interesting @Stingray

    @Insertname Got it! Since I delete old posts weekly, that is np. Points are not a "biggie" for me, I simply like creative builds. From any SP user.

    @Insertname You could checkout the dozens of models I've posted over the last 12 months. Some are mediocre some are very unique. Upvote things you like, do not upvote things you do not like like. I think that falls within SP game rules.

    @SimpleFlow Comment #2 -- I have collaborated with @Nickasaurus and others and they get IW points. Forget IW points, IMHO, a simple Starbuck's cappuccino beats a single IW point.

    Thanks @Planefun Hope you have fun with the minor mods. BTW Camera 1 is not centered correctly. It's, your cockpit, your plane, so maybe you can post a better upgrade.
