Default Alamo Rocketeers Monthly Launch - August

We had a launch today at the Kitty Hawk Flying Field in San Antonio, TX today. It was a little windy, but fortunately we have a pretty
large field to launch in, and we didn't lose any rockets in the woods or on top of hangers. We had one destroyed (mine), one broke a
couple of fins (mine), several parachute failures, and one bad O-ring that resulted in a very interesting launch with flames shooting from
both ends of the rocket!

There are no videos of all of this unfortunately, but I do have a few snapshots.

Upscale Ram Jet. It's a real nice flyer!

Centuri Draconian Marauder. Still working on the upscale.
