Nice launch and rocket. When I first seen this missile in real life(on display) I said this has got to be the baddest missile ever.

Bill,


Qreat photos of my Nike Hercules. Is there a chance I could get a Hi-Res version of the Last image from the Winning flight. I would like to print it out and hand it on my wall.

Wow. What a great looking build and rocket! Super photos to boot! I'm very impressed. That has got to be a fun rocket to watch.
