|
Today we're launching again at Hallowell Farm
with the PARA group. Here is
Andrea at our table.
The Silverfish is being prepped with cameras
and a warbler. Looks like the parachute guy (today named "Parachute
Man") is ready.
|
|
Meanwhile, Jim and Ken are setting up
some high powered rockets further out in the field.
|
|
| |
|
Wonder what he's thinking. |
Probably pondering the instructions. |
|
|
|
|
A perfect liftoff! |
| |
|
It landed in the corn but it's hard to
lose something this big. |
| |
|
|
The ground was still smoking from Jim's rocket
when Ken's was launched. |
The main chute deployed ten seconds after the
drogue. |
|
|
|
| Next, Jim sets up
a flying saucer. |
| |
|
|
| Effin' GEE
powered! |
| |
|
The Initiator blasts off! |
... and has a perfect recovery |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The saucer takes off with a loud roar
and a display of flame, sparks and smoke! |
| |
|
... then returns safely to Earth. |
