Mill Springs Launch Report

Published on June 9, 2013

The June 8th Mill Springs launch saw over 154 rockets (as well as a few saucers, spools, and cones) take to the skies.  Interestingly there were 34 B6-4 engines used and 33 C6-5 engines, while the A8-3 only saw 17 launches.  Another popular engine was the A3-4T at 22 launches.  The most powerful engine was the F27-4R launching Steve Bellio’s Amraam 2 on two flights.  There were 98 parachute recoveries, followed by 41 Streamer and a few tumble recoveries and some helicopter nose cones and some gliders.  The day saw 2 cluster rockets, a couple of multi-stage launches, video camera, altimeters, 12 drag races, 31 first flights, 10 heads-up alerts, and one payload of an armless lego man… and finally a single french-fry was sent skyward as payload and thought to be still edible upon return.
