At long last, I am posting my photos from RS 9, in chronological order. Minor commentary provided. Click on an image for a closer look-- dave

Friday: I establish operations in the desert.

The view toward the launch area.

Friday draws to a close-

Saturday morning, and Bill Seiders is preparing already...

Another view...

My Level 1 Certification rocket, a PML Phantom. Will I succeed?

My neighbor, and his rocket, which carries an altimeter of his own design.

The Madness begins!

Brother John preaches to the faithful.

My Phantom leaves the pad after a squirrelly ignition.

A good chute...

Our esteemed Prefect signs my L1 paperwork. Whew.

While Veni takes their cash--

A couple of  shots looking west--

Troy preps powder charges.

Scott Bartel & Dave Griffith admire BSR rails-

Bill lands a dart 50 ft. from where I'm prepping-

My L2 Cert. rocket, a LOC Caliber-

Liftoff! (I'm in the middle of taking the test right now.)

Whadd'ya know, it worked!!

Note the stylish 'chute from Priscilla's

The happy idiot gets his L2!

My coworkers from the Big U, Kevin & Heather Lane-

Alas, it's the funeral pyre for this one-

I would like identification for the other folks, tell me who you are!
