It's a daytime launch in the other shots. NasaTV had live footage of those same perspectives.. It gave a pretty good view of the exhaust plumes and photography flashes.
Thanks for the vid Tac.

No, it happens too far for the boom. It drives my dogs insane when it goes up though.

When it lands we get to hear the sonic booms as it does the slow-down approach. That is some scary crap as some times you dont realize the shuttle is scheduled to land so you out there when this big bellybutton explosion comes out of nowhere lol.

Lol I hear ya Tac.  I lived in Orlando as a kid and I remember being awakened suddenly when the shuttle would come back under the sound barrier when approaching landing.  Always wondered what it sounded like from inside the shuttle.  I've heard jets breaks the barrier, but the shuttle one seemed much louder.

It didn't seem to sound like much more than strangely turbulent airflow from inside the Thrust SST cockpit..
