This picture shows how calm it was in the early part of the day. The flag laid flat against its pole for most of the morning.
Nice display of model rockets
One of my fav designs, the Saturn I, block C (I beleive)
Doh! Homer screams into the air for a perfect flight
A Richter Recker takes to the air apparently on 2 motors (if this is the RR I am thinking of) I believe it belongs to Bob Harrington.
One of Tony Vincent's creations. Beautiful rocket with a beautiful flight
Parents and children enjoying rocketry. That's the CMASS way!
John McCarthy lofts an idea of his. Needed nose weight, but a cool design none the less!
I love clusters and could not resist getting pictures of Curtis Heisey's scratch built model on pad 11
A close up showing the triple D power plant
LIFT OFF!
And, yes, he did get all 3 motors lit!
Tony with his beautiful Tres on pad 8
One of the better Tres launch photo's I've ever gotten
Brian, John and Jen cut the cake
It was a pretty cake. It was delicious too!
A StarLoad screams on a triplet of D motors.
One of several Thing-a-ma-Jig drag races. This was had one TamJ stay on the pad, one scream into the air and one sorta in the middle. Kind of like the 3 bowls of porridge in "The 3 bears"
A shot of the launch crew working RSO duty and keeping an eye on a recently launched rocket.
The Deltie, one of my favorite boost gliders
Picture perfect boost with perfect deployment and a great glide.
A shot of our newly announced HERC-5 takes to the air. Improper camera setting resulted in a blurry picture...
A shot of the whole range from where I recovered the HERC-5
The family responsible for many of the drag races. THIS is what it is all about!
"Cleanup on aisle 3!"
Doug suffers altimeter failure and the resultant carnage.
Very cool rocket. I have seen this before and seen other pictures of it but can never remember the name!
One of several HPR birds that took to the air.
For the first time in years I flew a non-FlisKits model. This is my 75% downscale of the Estes Starlight. This design was the commemorative kit for (I think) NEMROC 4 way back in the 1980. A good flier and a great crowd pleaser.
Jim Salem's Bucky Jones ready to go
A Shuttle Express takes to the air!
Doug preps his recently finished PayLord for flight.
And we have liftoff! Doug got all 3 motors lit!
Doug treks across the field to recover his PayLord (in the upper right)
Having some launching difficulties, Jim re-connects his igniters.
My best launch shot of the day, as Jim's model soars by the CMASS flag.
