@samvarma Wild! Thanks for sharing!
@samvarma I don't think you can ever top that for inflight entertainment.
@VWDasher Nope quite honestly that was incredible
@samvarma whole plane lurches to the left as everyone tries to watch the spaceship
@heathborders 🤣 plane was actually half empty, but I did AirDrop the photos and footage to anybody who wanted it
@samvarma How lucky do you have to be to be in the right place at the right time? Thanks for this video.
@jankaheike Seriously... I had no idea when we left
@samvarma this is soooo cool!

@samvarma Thank you for sharing this!
@samvarma I totally saw your plane. I was like, *who* is flying that plane that close to a rocket launch, OMG.
@Thoreau Southwest, that's who 🤣
@Thoreau @samvarma Did you maybe see NASA’s tracking aircraft, the Canberra WB-57? I can’t see the altitudes here but that got pretty close…

@samvarma also idk if you saw me post this before but i am proud if this edit
