BlueSkies 90 Report
March 15, 2015
Highland Sod Farm
Elizabethtown, KY

It was a good day to fly rockets. It started out cool but the jackets came off as the temps warmed up. Clear skies and low winds made for a day without anyone loosing a rocket, even though Ed tried to put his dual deploy into the pond. In fact the booster was in the water but the electronics bay stayed on the bank.

We had 14 fliers with 62 flights on 69 motors burned. The total impulse was 4816.8N-sec. (CTI L1099SS) .
