Same speed, but Green can turn tighter due to her smaller wavelength. Here you assumed the Green Flash was a male, didn’t you. Her secret identity as an androgenous gogo dancer lends to the confusion!
My son and I caught it once in Kona, Hawaii. It is cool.
Great photography!
Nice catch.

Congrats!
