Absolutely incredible video!!!! Not only were they launching at 6am, but you were up and there filming them. For me, I don't usually "launch" my day until 10am or so and definitely with a cup of coffee or 2. Beautiful work. Thank you!!

Great footage mate, well done. I'm finishing my edit of the morning's events as we speak, it will be up soon. I was up at Fighter World so a slightly different angle, more side-on to the runway.
