1965- Estes Astron Alpha on an A8-3.
How did your Dad take it?Big Bertha on a B6-4 or C6-7. Painted the nose cone to the rocket. Came in ballistic through the top of my father's VW Karmen Ghia convertible.
Hey, me too (Estes WAC Corporal), maybe ~5 years later. One gusty day I put a C6-5 in it and never saw it again, though.An Estes WAC Corporal circa 1965.
I wouldn't mind finding an original red and white Alpha III kit. I imagine they're few and far between, though.
Below was my second rocket I built an Estes Photon Disruptor,just took a picture of it today for this thread, its 37 years old.

It really is interesting to see how far back some of you go. I won't hijack the thread, but I assume a lot of you are BARs?
My first rocket was an early '70s vintage Estes V2. I flew for a few years back then and then was away from the hobby until just a few years ago.
