Happy Birthday Leo- Germany's rocket Chancellor

[Hobie1dog]

Hope you have a great day. We hope we will see you again as you make your yearly trips to the US

 

[Leo]

Thank you very much!

Later this evening I will get a call from my Aunt. I'm sure to talk to her about my next visit.
Looking very much forward to attending upcoming launches at Dalzell this year!

As a birthday treat, I decided I needed treatment to look 20 years younger, so off I went to get a haircut

Yes, it is. Built in 1983 with only one flight to date, as far as I can remember.

His dual-deploy Estes Astron Elliptic is further evidence of Leo's skills...

Yikes, that was 12 years ago. Today I now realize how old I've gotten

It seems to me like every time a German builds something it’s always top notch engineering, that apples to everything not just rockets!

Not 'old'... 'Aged' like a fine wine or whiskey. It's all a matter of perspective.

I prefer "vintage"...

It still means old, just cooler and more expensive.

OK, I'll remember that for next year when I yet again get a year older... emmm I mean more "aged", "vintage"
