The Diego Area Rocketry Team returns to Fiesta Island today with a great turnout of sport flyers, TARC teams, spectators and newbies. All ages are having a blast ( pun intended) returning to the skies after the pandemic lockdown (yes, Virginia, Covid is still out there, be safe!) and the school limitations. A bright note is Discount Rocketry is back! Supporting low and mid- power needs ( we are limited to a 1k ceiling due to the adjacent airport) they have brought a fully stocked trailer 'o' goodies. Thanks to Jim and his wonderul wife, Ruby, they were busy after dropping the ramp and it showed no signs of letting up. Jim helps new fliers with everything from motor selection to field repairs. Ruby fields a million questions a minute and walks future fliers thru the extravaganza of kits and parts everybody wants or needs. She also bills out to the buyers, as no actual cash may exchange hands due to some arcane rule by the Parks and Recreation folks. Bah, humbug! At least you can get your rocket jam on! Just a few random pics from this morning.:
