I found yet another photo print in my archives of the old days of ROMAR.
This was taken on October 23rd, 1982 at the United States Air Force Academy.
The club participated in a model hobby demo event sponsored by the Academy and the International Plastic Modeling Society.
We were given a 45 minute demonstration window, where we managed to launch around 20 rockets.
This photo shows a rack of models ready to go. The gentleman in the red shirt kneeling to prep a model is Dr. Warren Layfield, of ROMAR. I'm not sure of the identification of the other two rocketeers in the scene.
Other featured demos were conducted by an RC airplane club and an RC car group. The local plastic model club also had a large display booth.
Another highlight of the afternoon was a demonstration jump by a precision parachute/skydiving team.
The event was well publicized and attended by significant crowds of onlookers.
