Excellent launch day - Video!

Great day with the Tripoli crowd at Cherryfield, ME.

Launched 4 rockets, recovered them all. From high LPR (Mega Mosquito on an Estes D) through some mid-power fun on AT F20s, ending with an Aerotech I280 Dark Matter.

This is my new favorite on-board video that I've done. Yes, that's the ocean that you can see at apogee.

Great video. What was the altitude?

Thanks! 4650 ft, max speed of 577 mph.
It was (as you can see) an absolutely gorgeous day for flying. And though I love the Dark Matter, I think I'm going to try something a little milder - with a long burn - next time. Of the dozen or so flights we had while I was there, this was the only one we lost sight of. It gets away from the ground in a hurry.

Dude, I’m used to seeing tan desert, but the color and contrast of your field is great!
