Back In The Day, Part 35 - A Little Bit Of Ancient Colorado Rocketry History

 It seems that every time I look through my archives of things saved from my early days of model rocketry, I re-discover another tidbit that I had overlooked or forgotten about

This time it is in the form of a Range Control Card used by the old Peak City Section of Colorado Springs. 



 For those of you who are familiar with early model rocketry history, you know that Peak City was the 2nd-ever NAR section in the United States.  Headed by William Roe, the group was formed in 1959 and was active until around the early 1970s.

This card clearly demonstrates that Peak City flew from a 12 launch point rack system.

Cheers!
