Launch Summary

What should have been Day Three of Oktoberfest 2006.

Weather Conditions

Cold, overcast, windy, low ceiling ugly morning on the praiire. The wind blew most of the night and spit rain off and on during the dark hours. Nasty conditions for a day on the praiire after Saturday's beautiful weather. With little chance of improved weather, high winds aloft, a low ceiling and a lot of volunteers, the range was cleared and packed away after Bob Messner put up the only flight for the day.

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.
