This may not be an Odd-Roc, but it is a bit more on the unusual end of the spectrum.
Seconded by les - Thank you!

I remember seeing these on TRF or in person earlier this year.
I don't remember who they belong to but I think they definitely deserve to be on a calendar.

The first rocket belongs to Boris Katan (Delta22 here on TRF). Not sure about the V2, but I do know he has one.

I second that first picture.

Will have some of my own hopefully before the deadline as I'm flying two K motors and a two stage rocket this Saturday.
 
Another one of my Drei Max:

I'll second this one. I like the background.
 
Here is one of Phill Ash's UFO Invader upscale from Red Glare XIV.

The builder/flyer, Pat Harden, requested this one be submitted. This a mosaic of the staging sequence of his unique Dominator 4 two-stage. I concur and offer it for your consideration.

Seconded by onebadhawk - thanks Teddy!

They can't all be perfect! Lawn Dart!


So many rockets, so little time, and money.

If this wasn't already seconded, I would second it. Love that they captured the staging in action. Always a cool thing to watch.
 
Here's my submission,

Thanks for the love on the UFO Invader. This flight was on a K1440 to 2830'. While the recovery was less than desirable, she was prettied up again and flew to 2567' (on a K1440 again) with a perfect recovery at Beach Blast.
