Looks like they used a PROPER amount of propellant on that Thailand launch.

Pretty loud too! Not sure what those Thai guys were shouting at each other but they all understood the light fuse and get away part.

The "pill-shaped" (capsule-shaped, with wings) plastic-bodied helicopter fireworks are also called--among other names--"Two-Stage Silver Jets." That's odd that his early ones didn't have "Place on ground, THIS side facing up" labels, as the first one I ever saw (my father bought it at a highway-side fireworks store on the outskirts of Ducktown, Tennessee in 1975; we also got plenty of other firework pieces on that occasion), labeled "Two-Stage Silver Jets," had the 'this side up' notice, and:

In 1983 or 1984, I disrupted play at one of the football home games at the Hiawassee, Georgia high school I attended. I set if off in the darkness below the level of the little plateau where the football field was, and when it rose into view, the game announcer got tongue-tied, and I could also hear shouts of "Look!", "What's that?!", and so forth from spectators in the concrete stands on the hillside above the field. :-)
