TWA hosted their third launch of 2016 this past Saturday. What an incredibly perfect day for flying! Not sure why, but there isn't ever much coverage of Bong related activities on TRF, especially from the TWA group....maybe 'cause there's a nice website (www.tripoliwisconsin.org). Anyway, it was a great day, so here's a few photos.
Started off the day with a Caliber ISP on a Kosdon I145 Dirty Harry. Slow, smoky flight.
Preston Nobile flew his RW All American on a Redneck Red from the No-Bull Motor Factory
Mini-me helps recover the Caliber.
Bill Bertoldi took the trip down to Bong from Kingsford, MI. He flew this tall 4" Hawk Mountain rocket on a White Thunder motor. Love me some White Thunder!
Generation 3 Bong boys at the pad with a naked Mustang
Mustang launches on an F40W
Madison West's wing thingy (Pegasus, maybe?) on another sweet white thunder motor. Haze + white rocket+ white motor = a bit hard to focus on and see!
Kevin Harnack took some really nice photos of the launch...far superior than the ones I took and am posting here. He also flew a 4" V-2 with a cable cutter. Took some time for the main to open, but opened in time!
Loc Magnums are great; everybody should have one! Here's one on a Kosdon K600 Fast. Love Kosdon Fast....not always the most impressive photos, but the noise and acceleration from Kosdon Fast are fantastic!
Recovered gently alongside the parking area:
TCayemberg launched his AK-27 on a CTI I180 Skidmark. Nice boost, looking back at the flightline at the LCO and company:
...to be continued....
