You going to be there Gordo? I expect to see Gus with a Sky Dart. :D

Guss will be but I have to go to my daughter's graduation tomorrow.

I might show up on Sunday.

If I can afford the gas!

I only made the Saturday launch. I haven't reports on Sunday, though it seemed the wind was worse than Saturday.

Great flights by all considering the evil East wind and some sad
flights. I was sorry to see the second SRS flight go bad. That first
flight was totally awesome though.

There were several Aerotech issues. We continue to see some delay
problems. Either too much delay or none at all. I opened a package of E11's and all three nozzles were blocked. Not the little thin membrane you have to cut out on most nozzles. These are blocked!

There was a LOC Cool Spool drag race that was more of a salvo. It was cool anyways since
you had them launching and popping chutes at different times.

We also got to see Snitch Girl launch something other than a Snitch, but she
got her Snitch fix in later. Even LCO Roger Sadowsky flew something!

Thanks to Gus for the great Wally Schirra tribute flights. I had a
little fun with the Sigma 7 Mercury Atlas launch photo. I'll see if
anyone other than Gus can figure out what I did. ;)

Sorry I had to miss the launch.

From the pics I could tell the wind was a bit intense!

As a side note...

If someone wants to drag race me...and borrow one of my motors...well, I do race to win. :cool:
