At the September 9^th SoAR launch event at Mill Springs Academy there were 85 total launches accomplished by thirty-nine participants.  The Civil Air Patrol GA-045 Sandy Springs Cadet Squadron participated in today’s launch and helped with field recoveries and taking down launch equipment at the end of the event.  Weather conditions at the field were excellent for the morning with an occasional mild breeze and pleasant temperatures.  By later in the afternoon normal summertime conditions brought in some gathering rain clouds, distant thunder, and rising heat/humidity.

Some notable launches included Kevin Scholberg’s MRC Trailblazer IIB powered by a C11-3, his Estes Gyroc going up on an A8-3 and the majestic scratch-built Silver Sailor that launched on a D12-3.  Dave Tripp launched his classic Semroc Mini Explorer on a B6-4.  A thrilling launch and recovery was accomplished by Katina with an Estes Big Red Max sent up on a F23-4.
