Yes it was a great day at Bong. No matter where you fly you just need to fly the site. Justin was right it wasn't cold at all.

I agree, do not fly white rockets in the winter. That just leads to money gone...

Rule #1 of flying in the winter. Don't fly white rockets.

Now you tell me... got it back thanks to blue accents on the fins and nosecone.

Temp actually hit 37* for the last hour. Dave Deavours noted to me, the snow was melting - quickly! As I got in the car to heard home, I realized my feet were completely drenched.

White with blue accents!

Something I haven’t encountered in past winter flying - a face mask fogging up one’s glasses makes tracking -much- harder.

Just wanted to say I flew at Bong with Tripoli Wisconsin until 2012 when a new job took me away, and it's nice to see you guys still going strong.

Lol, true story! I found a solution though - hang the rocket about 60' up in a tree, you can see it from a long ways away then!
