This flight was a very aggressive flight. A camera was attached to the rocket to attempt to capture the green flame, but the camera was lost, presumably during takeoff. The skies were overcast and the J500's flame was easily seen against the dark clouds. The recovery was picture perfect from 1,702 feet.
