Flight 14 was a redemption flight, the Semroc Centurion on the mighty B6-4. Last flight for this bird on this field was back in 2011. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrQwmsWK0Rg It didn't end well. Not only did it spend the night on the wire, it also suffered a small zipper and lost nose cone during the salvage operation the next morning. I cut down the body tube and ordered a new nose cone from eRockets and Saturday was the coming out party. The B6-4 was perfect on this field, landing deep in the hole behind second base. No man's land, but at least it doesn't require recovery with an improvised device.
