First up, my friend's son getting his first taste of rocketry, the rocket on the pad is my pink Wizard, it flew this flight on a A8-3:
Here is my Baby Bertha getting boost on a B6-4:
Right in the middle you can see the Baby Bertha coming down, this is a good view of the field:
The Superbird was the first C flight of the day. It went great until the wind changed as the rocket was coming down. The rocket got stuck in a tree right at the edge of the field. It was low enough that we threw sticks at the rocket until we whacked it out of the tree:
No idea what this flight was, but it is another nice shot of the field from a slightly different angle:
After a bunch of great flights and getting my Superbird out of the tree, putting a C6-5 in a Wizard seems like a really good idea. Then this happens:
Like the Superbird, the Wizard was stuck in a tree right at the edge of the field. Unlike the Superbird, this was REALLY high up in the tree, no chance of recovery
And finally, on one of the last flights of the day, I snapped this pic of the Superbird boosting up on a C6-5:
Good thing I got it out of the tree
