10 February 2001
I'll get the details on these later... it's later than I thought and I'm tired. I actually took pretty good notes and will hopefully match the details to the right rockets.
 Despite the poor weather along the coast, Orangeburg was great. A light wind subsided by the end of the day. |
 Check with Shann Ladiser to pick up a license plate, key chain, or T-Shirt. |

 Tim McAbee's Patriot on a G-64. |
 Setting up on the low power pads. |
 Reggie Rice's Ender on a G-80T. |
 Bill Olsen's Night Crawler on a H-228-10. |
 Terry Mull and his Pink Thing found the irrigation system after riding a G-75J. |

 |
 Mike Scicchitamo's PML Ariel on an H-180-med. |

 |
 Paul Hickmon's BSD Diablo on an H-128-med. |
 Will Randolph's Lil' Nuke on an Aerotech F-23-4. |
|
 Rocket recovery is a good time for bonding. |
 Reggie Rice's Ender again, on a G-80T.

 Hunter Eisele's Blue Thunder flies again, on a G-52WL. |
 Tom Henderson's HV Arcas on a G-64-7. A bad ignitor (we think) resulted in many attempts to get this launch. |
 Sandy Dempsey's Aero Possum arced over and was headed for a crash when the chute opened at 100'. F-40-10 motor. |
 Another Diablo, this time it's Bill Olsen's on a G-40-7WL. |
 Paul Hickman had an interesting design for his Level 2 cert. The Drewminator 1 had an Aerotech J-750. The middle shot had us all confused... the rocket to Drewminator's right was launched by accident. |
 Terry Mull's Arcas on a Hypertech hybrid. |
||
 Kurt Kesler's Level 3 cert with The Big Easy on an Aerotech M-1419. The altimeter recorded an altitude of 7790'. |
|||
 Tom Binford flew an N-2000, the largest commercially available motor. An error resulted in ejection at apogee, but fortunately only one of two chutes deployed, saving him a drive to Myrtle Beach to recover it. |
