Hi All

Interesting application of the 744: launch platform for a rocket. The first launch occurred successfully the other day and is captured at the following link: https://youtu.be/yrx2PBzeRdU

Of note, see the 744's rate of climb at launch. At 55s in the video the PFD is visible and it appears the VSI is pegged at 9999 fpm.
