2003-04-13 NCR Club Launch (Day 3 of 3)

NCR Club Launch (Day 3 of 3)

Pawnee Grasslands - North Site

Sunday April 13th, 2003

Launch Summary

The diehards who stayed for this 3rd day of NRC's first 3-day launch, were rewarded with a slow launch pace and no lines at the LCO table. John Bixler made a successful Level 3 flight of his 5.5" (1/3 scale) Nike Smoke with an AMW-M1350WW. Russ Chaplin setup the hybrid equipment to launch his Yellow Jacket on Hypertek J-240.

Weather Conditions

Another glorious day with clear skies and temptatures in the high-70's. The everpresent ground breezes typical of the North Site did not hamper flight operations. Winds aloft were calm.

All launch events will be conducted using nationally approved/accepted range safety practices. The launching of rockets on NFS land is normally prohibited under a Forest Service Region 2 fire regulation. The issuance of NCR’s permit allows launches to take place by exempting the Holder from that regulation for approved launch events only. All launches, other than those conducted by the Holder during approved launch events, are outside the scope of this permit and are prohibited by Forest Service regulations.
