Launch Summary

The Green Gorillas flexed their muscles at this launch when James Russel flew his Big Easy on an L1060 and Art Hoag teamed with Joe Hinton to give Slipstream a ride on a K670. Three flyers: Carl Kaiser, Jeff Mosal, and David Vohsman attempted Level 2 Certification flights. Seth Sinnema attempted his Level 1 Certifcation flight.

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.
