One thing to note in this picture is a piece of evidence that shows this flight was not perfect. Several problems were noted, and one of them was a dent in the fairing under the rocket's exhaust nozzle. You can see it clearly if you look at the full res picture. The Extra 300 chase pilot got up good and close to look at that dent as SpaceShip One coasted back to the airport. We heard him on the radio say that there was definately a dent, but it didn't look like it should affect flight handling.
