NYPOWER 2014 Moving to Memorial Day Weekend

NYPOWER 2014 moved to Memorial Day Weekend

MARS this year will be piloting a move of the famous and long running NYPOWER regional launch to Memorial Day weekend.

The benefits are:

• Much more recovery area - no crops - just dirt
• Holiday weekend -
• Mowed grass

This will be a 3-day launch but we have not decided if it should be Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon. Any comments on this would be welcome even if you are not planning to attend.

More info will follow in this TRF section and the MARS website.

How about Fri-Mon?

Make everyone Happy!



Seriously -> I would prefer Fri-Sun

Think I would prefer the Fri ~ Sun

Prefer Fri - Sun; there's a parade on Monday!

Will hotel availability be an issue being that it is a big holiday weekend?

Book now.... The other Canadians (Wagstaff, Mitchell, Zacher, Campbell) like the Crest Hill in Avon. I think Teresa is on a first name basis with the owner. Nothing fancy, but the price is certainly right.

Beautiful thing about the Crest Hill is that if your dog will have you, you are welcome too...

Oh yeah


How can we book if we don't know what days?

Book all four, cancel the one when we know.... (Las Vegas odds has Fri-Sun in the lead).

It's like deja vu all over again!

Ok the voting is in, from both forum, pms and email to previous attendees.

3 to 1 in favor of Sat-Mon. NYPOWER 2014 will be May 24-26.

Just gotta say that NYPower 2001 was one of the most enjoyable launches I have ever attended.

Wow, where have you been hiding, Hank!?

Rich!!! You ever get the Flying Traffic Barrel of Death back in flying shape?

I took twelve years off but I'm back. Planning on finally going L3, but not for a year. You ever see Elijah Bruin?

Rich took the photos, but the FTBOD belonged to me. I still have the barrel, along with a spare. All it needs are supports to remount the ring fin. I've been thinking about resurrecting it for NSL in Muskegon.
I have a family reunion in the Reading PA on Sunday of the Memorial Day Weekend, so maybe I'll swing by NYPOWER for old time sake. It's been a number of years since I've flown anything, too.

Wow, this is like the NYPower old timers reunion!

Sorry Mark, of course that was your rocket. Time blurs the memory, but my memory of that field is still clear in my mind. In fact, that whole part of the State was absolutely beautiful. Elijah took me around a little ad I got to walk through a couple of State Parks like the Milk Run State Park and, of course, Gennesseo was picturesque.

Would love to make another trip out to NYPower but doubt I ever will be able to swing it.
