My personal best was achieved today...

where the Arreaux model rocket soared to an apogee of 2,402 feet (732 meters) on a “G” engine at a remote launch site on the state line. I’m aiming higher.

Also, these launches push me over the century mark, now having sent more than 100 model rockets skyward this year. Huge fun.

The Book Cliffs serve as a backdrop as the Arreaux zooms off the pad.

The Nike Smoke Pro under chute after achieving an apogee of 695 feet (212 meters).

Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) wondering what all the commotion was about out on the range this morning.
