Surprised there is not more chatter about TS 2024 here... Weather looks favorable for Saturday and Sunday. Friday not so much...

 

[VictorBarlow]

The weather for Thursday (4/11), which WAS our setup day, does not look very promising. As a result, we will be setting up the launch field on Friday morning. WE SURE COULD USE SOME VOLUNTEERS TO HELP US, 9 A.M. Speaking of volunteers, please sign up on the ThunderStruck webpage to volunteer to LCO, RSO, Pad Manager, etc. We CANNOT run this launch without volunteers.

Great photos. You have one of my Pennsylvania Crude launching. Only mid-power in the group. Thanks.

Thanks for a great day of flying everyone! I had a fun day, I hope you did too. Looking forward to one more day of flights if the weather holds out of us.

Great photos as always Justin!

Minimal pics from Sunday... it was windy, even early in the AM.

Thank you for the excellent pictures Justin! I had hernia surgery on Friday and wasn't able to make it out there.

It's hard to tell distance in the pictures, is there any chance a rocket could come down on one of those windmills? I'm just wondering what would happen to those things if they got out of balance, I would hope the windmills have safeguards for such an event, but I know nothing about their design. The worry wort in me knows I couldn't afford the repairs if one of them came crashing down.

Short answer, its possible to get them there.
