On a beautiful day at Mill Springs where low humidity and clear blue skies provided an excellent day to streak skyward we had a great turnout and over 105 flights. Due to moderate winds at mid-day most opted for A8-3 (26 launches) followed by seventeen going up on a B6-4, fourteen with B4-4, and eleven challenging with a C6-5, and even some Ds and Es were ignited. Steve Bellio receives top honors with a launch of a G78-4G on his LOC Stovi. Most rockets were recovered by parachute (76) with 21 coming back on streamer. We also saw tumble recoveries and some well executed gliders. Most interesting rocket name was “Deadly of the Rocket” launched by Rory.
Jim and Sheila thrilled us with multiple straight-and-true Interceptor E launches on an E9-4. Of interest there were 11 First Flights, one A8-3 cluster of 2, two rockets were launched with altimeters, Kevin Boyd sent a Saturn V up on a E18-4W, there was a two stage launch (although the first stage was more like a ½ stage), Tom taunted us with a square rocket, and even a happy birthday launch for Rory.
