Six Launches. Six recovered. Damage: Broken shroud line.
Winds were a tick higher than usual. Reported to be 20 mph aloft.
The JLCR was "in the shop." I didn't launch the altimeter least it should drift away.

B6-4. Nike smoke. Nominal flight. Needs more gas

AT E28-7T. SPEV 24 1200' sim. good flight. Shroud line broke.

AT F 35W. Bumble Bee. Forgot to load chute. Multiple note changes lead me to believe that the chute was pack. Final note showed chute not packed. Mitigation: Read notes and physically check prior to departure.. No damage.

G64-6W Sumo. Successful launch. Delay too long. Drill less aggressively.

C6-5. Nike Smoke. Nominal flight

B4-4. Wac Corporal. Nominal flight.

Successful launch!
And yes, "physically check" to see that the chute is actually present, that it is actually attached to something useful, and that the deployment electronics are actually turned on ... and don't ask how I actually know that NOT checking those things is a problem. Doh!
