Apparently Stratolaunch was flying their huge carrier aircraft over Mojave today. I've seen it up-close on the ground several times, but have never been lucky enough to catch it in flight. Cool videos.

We found the scaled composites #stratolaunch was flying near edwards air force base this morning around 11:30-11:45 around when my windows shook.

Interesting, Stratolaunch is going to send out a launch (I believe they usually fly south of Santa Cruz Island and launch their rockets from the bottom of a plane). November 9th or 10th.

Manœuvre impressionnante au-dessus du Pacifique. L’avion porteur Roc de Stratolaunch a largué un prototype de fusée Talon-A2 pour la deuxième fois de l’histoire, en réussissant cette fois-ci à la faire atterrir. Un deuxième vol hypersonique spectaculaire, lancé depuis le plus grand avion du monde.

I'm very excited to learn that Stratolaunch has used its monster "Roc" carrier aircraft to launch two successful hypersonic flights of its Talon A2 unmanned aircraft, at least one exceeding mach 5.
I've been lucky to see the Roc three times close up, twice on its own, and again with an earlier version of the Talon hanging under the center wing.
