Here are a few pictures I got from the day:

I flew my Zoom Broom for Open Spot. It came apart. Fail.

This looks tragic, but it's just a saucer going from "up" to "down."

I flew my Estes Odyssey clone for one of my parachute flights. Good move. It was the only flight that qualified for me!

There was plenty of time for sport flights too! This is my Red River Rocketry Merlin flying on an F...

Bill Gee's Red River Rocketry P-Chuter turned in a good time!

All in all, we all had a blast! If you couldn't make it out, we'll be flying another one soon!

Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
