Morning was awesome. Three flts. Dagger 38 on an I366. Osiris XL on a I212. And Javelin on a H410. Then came the wind. Blow out right now.
Nice meeting you (again?) kelltym88! Quite a beautiful bevy of rockets you have!

Got to write up my report. But at 2:30pm yesterday I read it was still windy. Last night and today I think things are better.
I'll say it more than once, but don't let Mark "Stickershock" Hayes put you off by his online persona.
He's a great guy in person. Most Rocketeers are! Thanks Mark for the "Rocket Fuel"

As for the date... I suspect July would be no better, nor August. I think LDRS was once in July or August and the PM 'w' was there as well. Or maybe that was the joint LTR/ROC launch (remember those?). May is graduations and kids still in school. This is one of the first times I can recall it's blown for more than 24hrs. Certainly ROCtober and the November ROCStocks (IMO) 'tend' to be a bit better. I prefer cool or cold (tho maybe not freezing cold) to the heat. It makes recovery walks more tolerable for my 53 year old airframe.

Made it up Sunday - great day for flying.
Am so glad I made it for Sunday ! Definitely want to make it back in the fall .
Was also refreshing to speak to some favorite vendors face to face like Stickershock Mark and Bay Area Rocketry Mike.
Got a lot of compliments on my Vindicator DD - thanks Mark !
Kenny
LOL on the last one! There's something to be said for a guy retrieving his rocket on a scooter in the desert during a sandstorm!
