Back In The Day, Part 23, More Skywatchers Photos 1975-1979


This is a continuation of the last post in this series.  Here are some more pics.....

Unidentified Skywatchers member hooks up a new Estes Stiletto, 1979


Unidentified member displays his EAC Viper.
This is my old Astron Spaceman model, built in early 1974.  It originally had a white paint job, but was later painted to resemble the 'Starlords' mascot.  Here, he appears to be assuming the attitude of "Quit fooling around, you guys, and let's get on with this!"

Dave Wright returns to the launch area after a long successful model recovery walk.  Photo date unknown.


Unidentified club member readies an Estes Gyroc for flight.  1976
My custom designed booster rocket, the 'Pinnacle', and a parasite glider, the Styrofoam winged 'Mini-Maggot 2', await ignition at a Skywatchers meet.
