I did not resemble a plane....to me.
There was a huge plume down low, then a tight, dense arching contrail as the Titan shot out of sight.
Just tellin my perspective, whether or not I noticed the particular design makeup of the Titan should be left up to rocket scientist as yourself...wouldn't you agree Herr Oberth?
Funny you should say that. I am a rocket scientist.
I spent 9 years in the USAF maintaining and operationally launching Minuteman IIIs. I have participated in 6 launches and have witnessed many more of various types at Vandenberg AFB. After I got out of the USAF, I worked on the M-X project and participated in 3 test launches with that program also.
If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer them.
