So who has the most certs? Like George I started with NAR and then switched to Tripoli later. NAR started a cert program where you certified at each letter class, if I recall correctly.
Cert Level 'G' Naram 35, Middletown Md. THOY Peacock SU AT G25W. I miss that motor.
Cert Level 'H', PARA launch, THOY Nighthawk, SU AT H125, phenolic case. Ripped! Brushed a tree at the edge of the field.
Cert Level 'I', Battle Park Va, 4" sustainer of a two stager 'Flipper Two', AT I161W, I borrowed the case. Done the same day as the TRA confirmation below.
Before TRA had cert levels you were 'confirmed' and could then buy any motor.
Confirmation flight, Battle Park Va, same THOY Nighthawk as NAR H, AT H128W. This was converted to Level 1 later.
Level 2, RATS launch (NJ), Cluster R Standard Arm, AT J275W. Flew with a movie camera payload.
Level 3, LDRS 28 on July 4, 2009
Scratch built 5.5" Viper Sounding rocket, 40 pounds, AT M1297.
Yikes! That is over a span of 16 years!
Level 1 rocket from a flight two years ago:
