BALLS was EPIC! We saw a hybrid go over 100K, and I saw the most incredible flight I have ever seen… a P-to-P rocket that executed *perfectly*… the rocket’s name was “Miss September”. It was the consensus monster flight this year. The aforementioned hybrid came in hot… but there were a lot of great flights.
We had 9 guys from NCR there. I’ll let the others talk about their flights – there were some dandies! For my part, I flew a 100% stock KestreL 3 times… first on a K300 (24,000′), on an L640 (24,434′) and an L935 (24,828′) – all three recoveries were perfect.
The weather could not have been better… totally calm, totally clear, etc. What a great launch…
