The September 14th Mill Springs launch had a great turnout of thirty-six participants who accomplished 121 launches throughout the event.  Mild winds from the east helped guide recoveries down the length of the field but variations in wind direction did prove challenging at times.

The day saw many Turbo Vorticos, Whirl & Hurls, saucers, cones, and even something called Bad Egg Salad by Kevin Scholberg that flew (whirled) on an E12, then a F15.  Joseph Barrett launched his Estes D Region Tomahawk on a E12.  We saw a spectacular flight of Tim Callahan’s Estes Blackbird on a C6. Chris Lucas launched a Lego Gus Grissom onboard an Estes Mercury Redstone with a C6.  Roy Green sent up his Estes Jupiter C / Juno I on a C6.  Jorge got to fly his beautifully finished Estes Protostar and Estes Expedition each on C11s.  Glenn Harper successfully ignited all three A8s (cluster) in his Estes Der Triple Max for an impressive flight and Herb had an awesome flight with his FlisKits Deuces Wild on a two-cluster of B6s.  [Photos from the event]
