The WOOSH Rocketry entry, dubbed "Gouda Wooshka", was built in 7min. 57sec. It's first flight was less than successful, a tangled chute being the problem if my memory serves correct. Since then, it has become an iconic (and infamous) part of the WOOSH organization. It has been flown at local, regional, and national events all over the country, on an astonishing array of different commercial and research motors. There have been many repairs in it's lifetime, it's no looker. But it keeps on keepin' on! I wonder if any of the other entries are still flying?

Is that a zipper up top? I don't remember that being there?

Almost made it to Bong on Saturday....made it to Greenfield, then got "stuck" at the sister-in-law's house. Oh well!
