I always wanted to watch space launch from the air. Since Orion launch is such a historical event I decided to give a try. December 4th was the first scheduled launch date. My wife and I took off at 6:45 am for a short flight to the space coast. We circled outside the restricted airspace following a C172 that arrived before us, for almost two hours until the launch was scrubbed. On the one hand it was an disappointment since we did not see the launch. But, on the other hand we saw the beautiful sunrise and it was worth the flight.
We flew on the west side of Indian River (restricted airspace is on the east side and the river is very wide) and over and north of Space Coast Regional).
