Does anyone know if Mark Mayfield launches model rockets?

Yes, he does. ;)

He flew several rockets at NARAM-50 but, like most of us who attend launches, he brought more rockets than he flew.

Mark and Deb Martin (Managing Editor of LAUNCH magazine) both flew Golden Scouts at NARAM.

Mark had mentioned to me that he was going to fly a saturn V, but, I don't know if he did or not.

Out of all the rockets that I took to NARAM, all prototypes, the only one that I didn't get to fly was my "Bacon Bits" pig rocket.

I missed out on the imagination celebration launch, and the next day had problems with igniters. After that I took an emery board and some sand paper .

Mark also has a huge collection of vintage model rockets items as well.

Mark did not fly his Saturn V or Centuri 1/45th Little Joe II. :(

To hear that Mark launches as well as publishes is great! It's always good to see people be able to make their hobbies into a career and really be happy.
