For a day that initially looked questionable due to a rainy weather forecast a few days out, the launch event at Mill Springs Academy on February 10^th turned out to be excellent.  There were twenty-one participants launching sixty-seven rockets into an overcast sky.  Winds were minimal at the start, built up some mid-event and then moderated again during the final hour.

Standouts included a launch of a visually incredible creation of Kevin Scholberg that left the launch pad pouring out multi-colored crepe paper streamers to about 100 feet altitude, then arching over and creating a rainbow of streamers while landing gently nearby.  Kevin drag raced four air screws that was also thrilling sight.  While conditions were calm, Terry Bliss had some amazing flights of boost gliders with his Edmond Aerospace Deltie and Holverson Designs Silver Hawk. Some other great flights were accomplished by David Cain with his Estes Interceptor and Semroc Cherokee-D.
