NCR Club Launch

Pawnee Grasslands - AtlasSite

Saturday September 6th, 2003

Launch Summary

A beautiful day at the Atlas site saw a small group of flyers to enjoy a fall day on the prairie. John Wilke made everybody's ears ring with a beautiful flight of Screamin' Mimi on the Ratt K240. Russell Penner never ceases to amaze folks with his extensive collection of Estes birds, some rare and awesome vintage models that are still flying. The small pads got a big workout this time as the kids were busy with many great flights.

Weather Conditions

Beautiful, clear and warm. Temps in the mid-70's. Calm winds.

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.
