After a successful L3 Cert flight yesterday I need to thank a few folks personally.... ( in no specific order)



Thanks you Mark Saunders (BSD Rocketry) for loaning me the AT case for the flight! Mark, your the man!



Thanks to my buddy, Ken Sparks (SSS - Member at Large) for calming me down on several occasions, for loaning me the use of his most excellent rail and most important of all, for the fine cigar after the fat lady sang! Thanks buddy, your the best!



And finally to all my good friends at Trailer Trash Aerospace (Kevin, Marty, Jim and Kyle). Your help (and harassment) with this project were invaluable in the success of the flight and specifically Marty and Kevin who put disaster scenarios in my head too many times to count and made me lose sleep worrying about it WAY too many nights...



Thanks guys... L3 was a blast!!!!

Mile it was a great flight. And you can give me a hard time next month when I do my L3.

Great flight Mike! Congratulations! Even if it only went straight up and drifted softly down, raking up debris would have been much more fun don't you think?

No curly Q's or zig-zag's to make for good pictures either! Kinda boring behind the camera.

Good Luck Dangerous Dan...wish I could be there to see it...I did work on Jim Russels ground support team this weekend at the Michiana Launch at Three Oaks...Jim Cert'd L3 in style...a 4 inch rocket on a Hypertek M970...11,000 and change....12 degrees sunny and little wind...I know you wish you could have been with us (only if we added about 65 degrees though).
