Unfortunately, there were clouds blocking the view until it got several miles up.

Next Tuesday the Falcon Heavy is scheduled for its first launch. Triple the size of the Falcon 9.

I guess they thought "Falcon 27" was too predictable :-)

On this web site be sure to view the 2-3 minute animation, which is extremely well done. Demonstrating the awesome capability and technology being used. (right side about middle of page).
