Nice, wonder if they returned or just continued onto Seattle?

Geesh that guy really yanked on that stick huh? I wonder if the end of the runway seemed closer than he thought...

Is this a regular thing here? This one seems to be really close to striking too... or maybe it did and the sun prevented the visibility of the fireworks

That 1st strike looked nice lol. that 2nd one didnt look like it hit. Very very close though.
