With the County Fair tying up the SEVRA field for the entire month of September, made the 2.5 hour drive up to attend the NOVAAR launch at the Great Meadow.
(should have photographed in the other direction; cars stretched for what must have been 100 yds on both sides of the road; two different vans full of Civil Air Patrol cadets, and then a scout troop showed up!)
Gorgeous field, beautiful weather (though it got a bit warm mid-afternoon) and plenty of launch activity (so many Alpha 3's you'd have thought the field was a breeding ground for them).
Got to put up five flights including a maiden on my Semroc Aerobee 150, and had some truly enjoyable conversations with club members. Also experienced the highs and lows of seeing Wally's Wildman 3X Andromeda in person. Gut-wrenching...
Thanks to the officers and members of NOVAAR for being such gracious hosts!
