This is the Pasture on Monday after the range is broken down. Looking south from the circus tent area. Notice the "road" off to the right. A few stragglers ready to head out. Amazing how it changes in just a few hours.

My wife was able to fly the Inverted Pursuits Lab rocket she got at last years Airfest. 2.6" rocket on an AT H219. Payload bay in the nose had a Altus Metrum Easy Mini altimeter(single event-chute deploy at apogee), and a Tele GPS(bean field insurance). 25' of Teddy's EXCELLENT Kevlar shock...

Wayne, will there be ice available on site?

Only 91? Better bring a jacket. :)

Two weeks out as of today. Airfest is always one of the premiere rocket events every year. The Kloudbusters work hard to make it a success. More importantly are the volunteers that help out with the many tasks on the range to keep things running smoothly and safely. There are still volunteer...

Visited the Museum of Flight in Seattle again, and remembered to take a few pictures this time. If you are in the Seattle area, this museum is a must see. Plan on an entire day there as its BIG. Lots of space exploration stuff there, including the actual cargo bay load training mock up of the...

Two weeks from today:

On the bright side, at least the rain cut down on the dust ;). The low ceiling on Friday and Saturday limited the launching to Model rockets, but it let the kids be the focus of the launching and not be overshadowed with the "Older Kids" rockets. Sunday was"The Day" for high powered rockets...

OK, so I'm going to bring some trackers. I have a Tele BT, Tele GPS, a Bee Line transmitter, a tracker that I can't remember where I got(works good though), Yaesu handheld transceiver, Yagi antenna, associated batteries, etc. Since I'm flying to Airfest, I'm shipping my rockets, although I do...

I hope that the milo isn't the same variety that was in the field north of the road several years ago. That stuff that left a sticky mess on everything that came in contact with it. Having waded through milo fields looking for rockets, I can say that I'd rather be enjoying the launch rather...
