It wasn't as fantastic as other Vandenberg launches I've seen over the years when I lived in Southern California. I remember one launch made at dusk in the late 80s that left a magnificent giant winding trail behind it that stopped traffic on the 60 freeway.
Back then, the nation was still fearful of a Soviet missile attack. ;)
