I'm going for at least one day, I'll probably just drive up from El Paso. I had fun at NSL 2010 so it's kind of a no-brainer.

A friend and I are likely coming. I just had surgery for basal cell carcinoma on several places on my face. Some additional treatments next month. If dermatologist isn't too concerned about being in sun, I'll be there.

Or I suppose I could just buy a sombrero locally? 😀

Haha, I thought of that, but that would be cross dressing, right?

As part of NSL 2017, we're offering several tours of local space or aerospace-related points of interest. One of them is an all day tour to the High Speed Test track at Holloman AFB and the historic V2 launch complex at White Sands Missile Range. This tour will take place on Tuesday, May 30 -- the day after the last day of the sport launch. The track isn't normally open for public viewing, so our tour presents a rare opportunity for you to see the track up close.

Here is a look at some of the history of the High Speed Test Track:

Jerry, I think questions one and three here cover your question: http://www.nar.org/site/nsl2017/faq/

If you come, I'd love to meet you in person.

You only need a NAR (or Tripoli) membership to fly high power. For low and mid power, membership in the NAR is not required to fly at NSL. If you're coming to the launch itself just as a spectator, you don't need to pay the range fee, and you can still sign up for the tours.

(If you change you mind after you get here and want to fly after all, we will have walk up registration for the launch).

That's great news. See you all there. Heck I might even bring a model rocket. Over a pound of course.
