My first rocket launch was in 1972.
I had begun building models in 1970 but California had some pretty strict laws/regulations governing model rocketry at the time so getting rocket motors could be difficult.
The first rocket I flew?
An Estes Falcon boost-glider with an 1/2A6-2 (Full size 18mm motor, not a 'S' Shorty motor).
It worked!
I still have the Falcon packed away in a box.
Attached is a picture of my rocket collection in 1972. The Flacon is the red glider in the front.
