Frequently they include a piece called "Short Final" which is a humorous story from someone's personal experience. Here's what came up today:

Short Final > > The following was an exchange between a friend and a pre-flight > briefer last weekend. The briefer got to the NOTAMS and there was one > for a rocketry club near Schaumburg, IL... > > Briefer : ... and Schaumburg has a warning that they'll be firing > rockets. > > My Friend: Man! First it's North Korea, now Schaumburg! > > It took the briefer about two minutes to stop laughing enough to > continue the briefing.

So... Who was flying in Schaumburg last week?

The Northern Illinois Rocketry Association flys in Glynn Ellyn which is less than 5 miles from the Schaumburg Airport. We had a LAUNCH there on July 16th. We DID NOT FIRE anything. We LAUNCHED rockets on motors ranging from A's to G's. Bill Ipjian
