Launch Date: June 6th, 2022


Dove Valley Park in Centennial, Colorado was the site for another launch made by a trio of Colorado Front Range rocketeers; Mike Goss, Dave Bauer, and Brock Wood.

The weather conditions for this outing consisted of temperatures in the low to mid 70s and a slight amount of wind.

Here are pics and highlights:

Mike Goss flew two other models not pictured here - an Art Applewhite Qubit (A10-PT), and a homemade CD spool rocket powered by a C6-0 motor.

Unfortunately, several other members of our Colorado group were unable to attend this launch for various reasons.

Yours Truly Blogger had to sit this one out as well. I had contracted a particularly spirited round of Bronchitis over the weekend.  So, instead of launching rockets, I was gazing wistfully out the window, sipping hot ginger/lemon/honey tea, and pounding down the meds!
