My altimeter was reading 17,900 feet and M1.5, but I’m not sure if I feel comfortable claiming it as my new personal best altitude since the rocket is in more pieces now than I started with…..

Congrats, Jason! Did anyone happen to get pictures of my Gray Ghost (Crimson Comet)? Let me describe it… it’s that kinda big gray one on Saturday? I didn’t have time to claim a raffle prize (757107) or get my altitude on the card. For the record, Mike K. said 11,232, and Jordan Russell said 11,233. I was too exahausted to even really listen to it, though it beeped for hours. JW, you were right, it flew dead straight, even in about 10 mph of wind.
