I didn't know about it until I saw Mike Rohde's at a TORC launch. AFAIK no one has ever figured out where it falls on the Estes kit release timeline. It's an 18mm bird, so it could be that one of the kids hadn't figured out the whole A, B, C thing when this was taken. A8-5 flight? B6-6? We would go to school in the morning and watch the taped games in the library before first bell. Pretty sure I waltzed in late to class a couple of days that week, but seniors could get away with quite a bit. It was THE only time I felt like a part of my class. One of my few good memories of high school.

Is it just compression of field by the camera, or are those kids in photo #5 awfully close to the launcher?

Hard to say, but I wondered the same thing.
