!DCA 12/380 ZDC AIRSPACE UNMANNED ROCKET WI AN AREA DEFINED AS 3NM RADIUS OF LVL331027.4 SFC-6600FT 1612311500-1612312200

Boswell Field from 10 AM to 2 PM.

It was windy and cold, but we had three active flyers and several new spectators. Kevin Johnson flew his Eagle Claw on a G106 and his Flash three times on C6-5s. Kevin Dunn flew Drago the Red, first on a G126 and then on a G125. Tim Raney flew Experimental Rocket #14 on a G79 with recovery using his Jolly Logic Chute Release. All flights were successful, and all were recovered intact. We started early because winds were forecast to increase in the afternoon. Sure enough, they did. We declared victory and knocked off by 1 PM.

The January launch will have to be early–Jan 21 or 22. I will be out of town for the following weekend.
