Spectators please reat the Spectator Info page for more information about High Power rocket launches.
The KLOUDBURST launch is our first large launch each year. The weather in March tends to be a bit cool so dress warm. Camp on-site or at the Argonia River Park. Since this is the first big launch of the year most folks bring out the rockets they built over the winter. Lots of good flights can be expected! The Kloudburst launch is always a lot of fun -- even if it rains. It is always nice to meet up with friends in the spring and talk rockets!
AIRFEST
DISTANT THUNDER
TRIPOLI RESEARCH LAUNCHES
If you can only make it to one launch... you've GOT to make it to this one! AIRFest is even big enough to have its own Web Presence. Argonia really puts out the spread at this launch (great food, cheap)! Camping is available on-site or at the Argonia River Park; or take advantage of the hotels nearby. Rocketeers from all over the world attend this launch. Expect rockets from 1/2A to M or larger (we've had clustered N flights). Some have suggested the AIRFest as a competitor to LDRS -- it is NOT, rather, AIRFest is a companion to LDRS. But ... if you can't make it to LDRS perhaps you CAN make it to AIRFest!
What a great way to end the flying season. Bring out your rockets, hot dogs, and marshmallows. Launch in the day, sit around the camp fire at night. Burn up those motors so you can buy bigger ones next year. This is the launch that folks like to attend to go-out-with-a-bang. Weather can be cool at night but very comfortable in the daytime. The winds in late fall tend to be light (now watch, the launch is cursed for sure now)!
Many KLOUDBusters enjoy the challenge of TRA Research launches. These special launches often see the most extreme of the extreme projects and are held almost every month. Flyers must be TRA Level 2 or Level 3 certified and a TRA member to participate in TRA Research launches. Please contact our Prefect for information on these launches.
