The gracious owner of a small airport near Sandman's house allowed us to use the taxiway to launch rockets this weekend.
Weather was perfect, zero wind, beautiful clouds. A couple of small plane takeoffs and landings on the grass runway only added to the beauty of the day.
Our rocket recovery expert Emma only had to use her pink two-wheeled-rocket-retrieving-vehicle to pick up 2 rockets. The rest landed almost on the pad. What a great day!
I took lots of photos, mostly of Sandman's fleet (mine aren't nearly as photo-worthy). Man he builds beautiful rockets. Thought I'd share some with you.
First up, Sandman's Goony Goblin. Unbelievable speed and altitude.
