Bill Hrach flew his scratch built rockets, Rockwell and BOCTOK. Rob Chapie was seen with his crew prepping his Rocket R&D Jayhawk for a nice filght on an H73. Jack Hollister was around to fly rockets and lend a helping hand. Fred Gruiz accepted the assistance with his 2-stage Black Brandt. This rocket was seen taking to the skies on a K550 which later staged to an I135 for a beautiful flight. Mike Heppermann, not wanting to be outdone, loaded up his 3-stage Black Brandt X. It lifted off majestically on a J350 which staged to an H123 and again to a G80 for a spectacular flight. This rocket would make another apperance at the NSL launch in 1998. Mark Henriksen came out with his scratch built Shadowfire which launched on an H242 for a fast flight.

There were many others as well to round out the day. Our next launch is on May 17 at the Creve Coeur site.
