CATO CI Launch Report - 14 May 2005
Durham, CT

Cliff's Note version of the flight report (by President Al Gloer)

Not a launch report, just a few observations.

To quote Ulf: "Awesome"

For a day that looked like rain would kill us, we sure fought back! I wonder if aggressive rocket flying is an anti-rain defense system :-)?

The work on the trailer really seemed to pay off as we spent a whole lot less time searching for stuff than we normally would.

My wife noticed when she came down that there were 21 cars lined up along the road.

I'll compile the stats later and see what we can do to get them posted.

Next up....NERRF!
