Yesterday we had our last flight practice before the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) National Competition next weekend in Manassas, Virginia next weekend. We drove our qualifying eighth grade team up to Oberlin (Amherst) Ohio to fly with Skybusters Rocketry Club Website at the National Association of Rocketry Regional Meet. There were perhaps 100 rocketeers present and there must have been at least 100 flights in the five hours we spent at the site. Most of the first half of the alphabet of engine sizes made showings and flights. I got three launches on close up video: Jerry Appenzeller's LOC PRECISION Bruiser & Warlock Video (1 minute ~ 55 MB). It was an honor to meet Steve Eves. Somehow I didn't think to take a photo of him with our boys; imagine that.
