Photos from Hayburner IX
A perfect day for a launch. As always a GREAT BBQ. Star Ranch is a GREAT
place for the whole family to enjoy a day of rockets.
Photo credits go to Greg Davis and his digital camera and Scott Boyd with
a real camera.
If you have photos or AVI's of the launch, please submit the to the Webmaster
and he will make sure that they are posted.
If you can identify rockets or participants that are not named, please email

This was a K-550 to H's to something else, I don't remember, that Mike Hobbs put up. |
This is a test target that floated over, looks alot like the one that floated over our May local launch!! |

Above is Scott Boyd's Magnum before it's fatal flight. Too much grease in the forward closure, oops. |
