I would certainly be up there if I didn’t have another place I had to be…
Thanks go out to Ken Plattner and Dennis Billings for signing up to tow the trailer. Thanks a million guys!
Also, we can’t forget to thank the LCOs who signed up – Joe H., Art H., Bruce S. and Warren M.
My wife asked me to get something done before I went out to play, so I got to the Atlas site about noon… and no one was there, except for a wind that was hard to stand up in. Hmmm… guess that’s why. You can wait out rain, but not prairie wind. Well, there’s next month, huh? Tim, sorry I couldn’t let you know it time, but you probably knew before I did. 😳
‘Twas miserable indeed. I didn’t plan to fly anything, but did want to go hang with the cool kids for a bit. Conditions were wretched.
This group has always had a nice launch in December OR January OR February. Now we have missed all of those plus March. It has been a long time since anything was lit. My hunch is that we will make up for it in spades when the time comes? If April allows us to fly at the N site, I’ll start things off with a notable blast. Or two. I’m sure there will be others….

Conditions were wretched.
Last January (’06) it was in the 60’s, February (’06) at least mid-50’s, March fine, etc. Boy, if you include last summer’s fire ban, we’ve had too many non-launches. I’ve had a J420R loaded (with loosened end pieces) since Oktoberfest… 😯
