A few nice shots of the ol'gal in flight, including flight deck.

Interesting (2:50) how they marked a release altitude with the altitude bug and then a bit below it pull up and (far) away from the bugged speed to get as much vertical throw as possible. And then a hard bank right and further up, probably at the edge of the yellow band.
