The June 9th Mill Springs launch was fortunate to have very calm winds and partly cloudy skies throughout the entire event. Rockets were aimed straight skyward and most returned very near the pads, even those reaching higher altitudes had very little drift. This brought out more D12s than C11s for some truly spectacular flights. Overall, we had twenty-nine participants accomplish a total of eighty-two launches.

Standouts included Chris’s Estes Space Ship One flown with a B6-2 and his Estes Sky Dart II also powered off the pad by a B6-2 and gliding down gracefully. Wade Kovalik chose a D12-3 for the first flight of his Estes Cosmic Interceptor and launched a beautifully built and finished Semroc Laser-X for its first flight on a B6-4. Benjamin sent up a Rocketarium Mega Vortico on an E9-4 while Jacob went with a D12-5 for his Estes STM-012 and Estes QCC Explorer. [Event Photos] [Lost & Found]
