Tony's last flight was his LOC Cyclotron on a G-something. This is going to be his eventual Level 1 bird.
This was Tony's first day launching since 2003. As we were packing up to leave, he mentioned that he might come back on Sunday, so the hook seems to have set again. Also worth mentioning; I was taking pics of some of our rockets and I saw a guy walk up to Tony and introduce himself after they mistakenly called my name for his rocket. Tony pointed my way and after ten years I finally met Wolfram von Kiparski. Wolf was running the competition portion of the Great Lakes Regional and we were able to talk a couple of times over the course of the day. Another celebrity sighting was our LCO for the day, Barry Lynch. I was glad that I had brought one of his products to fly for a change.

Alas, I did not make to the Sunday launch. Those are great pictures.
The rocketry bug as bit me again. I went and bought some more D12s for my Pheonix and Silver Comet . |

Hi Wick, I'm old guy, grey goatee. Tony was older, taller guy with grey goatee. I've got more pics, but I haven't had time to post them. I'll get right on that.

I'm going to send these to the TCSB web guys. I saw something posted asking for some earlier today. Now I just have to remember where.

Next TORC launch is Sunday, May 20th. I'm planning on heading up if you want to meet me there. Should only be about a two hour trip for you, because it an hour and a half for me.
