A Florida Air National Guard F-15C Eagle aircraft assigned to the 125th Fighter Wing flies an air patrol mission as the Space Shuttle Endeavour launches on mission STS-108 from the Kennedy Space Center on December 5, 2001.

Cool shot, Ed.
I remember all the extra security for this first post "911" shuttle launch.

would love seeing a launch from the air similar of that caption, and maybe fly with the smoke trail out into the ocean

At first glance, I thought the F-15 was launching a flare.

Haha, that's exactly what I saw.
